Happy New Year everybody! How are you today? How do you feel these days, at the beginning of the year?
We are doing fine, my family and I. I'll continue homeschooling my son this year and, until fall, I have (some) time left to decide either to send my toddler to kindergarden or not...honestly this is a topic I need help with. Maybe I'll write another post with my thoughts and maybe you can share with me yours and your experience. Some part of me feels that he'll do just great and he'll love being in kindergarden (as I did and most kids do) but on the other side, I'm thinking to homeschooling him during the years and maybe sending him to kindergarden it's not a good start. Anyways.....you can share with me your thoughs on this, I'll appreciate it!
So, about this post, my son is in love with letters from the age of one ( as I already mentioned this several times) so all of our family members and friends know that my toddler loves numbers and letters. This is why, he is ALWAYS receiving gifts of numbers and letters. Make sense right? Lol =)
Well, overall is a good thing, but sometimes I get the feeling it doesn't. Anyways, he received these wooden letters from my aunt and he was soo excited that the next day we were already painting them.

In our case, he already knew the letters but for the kids out there who don't recognise the A-Z symbols, it's a fun way to consolidate knowledge of the alphabet and vocabulary.
In the process of painting and coloring the letters, try to spell it correctly and firmly, give examples of things, animals or objects that begin with that letter. Try to make it as natural as possible. Kids are like sponges, they absorb information faster as you can imagine. Just go with the flow, enjoy this activity together, that's all that matters.
And let's not forget that, during this activity, they have the chance to be creative; they can practice and develop fine/gross motor skills and dexterity, concentration and memory skills.
We used water colors on this activity but you can also draw the letters. And I'm thinking that you can draw the outline of the letters on a piece of paper, in case you don't find these wooden letters in your area.
Hopefully you are all healthy!
Wish you again a New Year filled with beautiful moments with your loved ones!
Stay safe, friends!

I really like your work, you have a lot of creativity and the use of colors definitely activate in children all the potential of their right brain hemisphere. This way of learning the letters is very attractive and the children will surely have fun while learning. Thanks for sharing
My son loves to paint, with that being said, I think I can re-create this activity for my son. Have a nice day ahead (^_^)
