There are 10 themed pages and 1000 stickers. These alphabet stickers are among my favorite craft purchase. Once we played the matching game a few times, each kid got their own page of alphabet stickers and a big piece of easel paper and then they just had fun making words and creating letter pictures. He practiced sounding out the beginning letter sounds of each animal name and then made sure to put each animal puzzle piece on its correct sticker!
The 2-year-old got bored after a bit and went back to playing with the puzzles while my son continued the game. Since we had animals from both puzzles, she also worked to match the chunkier animals with the magnetic animals (pigs with pigs, horses with horses, etc).Īfter we played for a bit, my 5-year-old came down to join us and had fun working with my daughter to match all of the animals to their correct letters.
and then the second time we took turns matching and placing the animals once she knew more of the letter names and the letters they matched with. The first time through this game involved more teaching. Can you put horse on the H?" That way she learned the correct way and I didn't make her feel bad by saying, "you did that wrong." If she put one on the wrong spot (for example if she put Horse on letter G) I would just briefly say, "Horse starts with H. We worked together to place all of the animals on the correct letters. "Are there any other animals that should go there?" She looked at the other animal puzzle pieces and found another pig and added it. I pointed to the letter P sticker and said "P says /p/ as in pig. Then we talked about the sound that PIG started with- /p/. My daughter picked up an animal and said its name. Once our easel paper was covered with alphabet stickers we were ready to play our matching game! For example, we added an S for sheep, G for goat, H for horse, etc. We only used the letters that corresponded with the beginning sounds in the animal names. Then we took a large piece of easel paper and covered it with alphabet stickers. Once we collected all of our supplies, we took all of the animal pieces off of the puzzles and put them in a clump on the floor. If you don't have them, I'd suggest buying them or keeping them in mind as gifts for little ones. These are all products we already had at our house that we use on a daily basis.
