Alphabet Parking lot : Match uppercase with lowercase Alphas

Cars are boys' favorite toy to play with πŸš—πŸš˜πŸš•πŸš™πŸš”πŸš“and LO is fond of alphabets too. So I decided to harness his love for cars and alphas into a fun activity. A great way to play and learn simultaneously, and also do some matching game with the upper case and lower case alphas.


Here's what I used :
  • Toy cars
  • White Tape
  • Alphabet flash cards (lower case) - optional
  • A clear plastic sheet - optional

You can also use :

A cardboard sheet/chart/poster board instead of flash cards. In that case you don't need a plastic sheet which I used. You can also check out this link https://www.kiwico.com/diy/Arts-and-Crafts-Ideas/1/project/Letter-Matching-Parking-Lot/1351 for a different version of the same activity. 

First we gathered all the carsπŸš•πŸš—πŸš™. LO helped me in counting the cars and he arranged them in an order he wished. I wrote the upper case alphabets on a small piece of white tape and gave the choice to him to decide, on which car a specific alphabet should go. 


 He helped me in sticking the tapes onto the cars.


Since I had alphabet flash cards(lower case) I used it. You can also use a poster board or a chart to write the lowercase alphabets. The GOAL is to use the lowercase flash cards/poster board/chart as a parking lot and park (match) the corresponding uppercase cars!!


We used a plastic sheet which we had, to hold the flash cards in place. LO inserted the cards underneath the sheet. The setup is over and the real fun begins!😁To make the activity more interesting we used a Hot wheels race case Track set




The fun continued about an hour!!!😁😁




To me, this an all-in-one activity with lots of hope to play, have fun and learn.πŸš—
