DOT STICKER NAME “TRACING”

Recently I saw @montessorifromtheheart post a name recognition activity that I loved using finger paint. Since B had already painted today, I decided to try it with dot stickers instead. I provided her with plenty of color options, named and identified the letters (and colors), discussed which ones had straight lines and which ones had curvy ones, took turns placing dots on the letters in her name, and spent a really pleasant afternoon together with my little girl. 🥰

This activity was low prep and engaging, and I will absolutely try it again with her in a few weeks. Next time, I’ll write the letters in her name farther apart so that they don’t blend together so much.

If you’re looking to #adaptmyplay, consider using chalk and a paint brush with water, salt and colored water with a dropper, finger paint, or even toy figurines or cars 🚗 over the name. We spelled out a larger than life letter T the other day using B’s toy storage bins. Anything and everything is an opportunity to learn. Our job? To create a world 🌎of infinite possibilities for them.
