Cars are boys' favorite toy to play with ππππππand 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 carsπππ. 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!πTo make the activity more interesting we used a Hot wheels race case Track set.
The fun continued about an hour!!!ππ
To me, this an all-in-one activity with lots of hope to play, have fun and learn.π
Happy Parenting!π
