Our 'My name starts with...' Letter Outlines are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years environments:
Name Recognition Activity:
Give each child the sheet with the first letter of their name. This helps them to make a personal connection to the letter.
Creative Art & Craft:
Provide a variety of materials, such as paint, glitter, fabric scraps, or natural loose parts, and let children fill their letter outline in a creative way.
This is a great way to develop fine motor skills and encourage self-expression.
Display & Visual Aid:
Once the children have completed their letters, you can create a beautiful classroom display with all of their creations. This celebrates each child and reinforces letter recognition for the whole group.
Early Literacy:
Use the sheets as a starting point for talking about phonics. You can say the sound the letter makes and talk about other words that start with the same sound.
