Writting letters

In Art en Casa as well as teaching the youngest children art skills we work on learning our numbers and letters. Its never too early for children to learn these and you can make them into really fun art activities with just a little imagination. Last week we worked on writing our alphabet all 26 letters. I had the letters written out in a grid in pencil and the children had to find the first letter of their name or any other they recognized. We then went through each one and thought of things which started with that sound. Then the children used a crayon to trace over each letter. They finished off by painting each square a different color with water paints which meant the crayon letter could be seen through the paint.These posters are great for the children to then take home and hang on their bedroom wall.
