The Letter Monster

I like to begin storytime with an alphabet activity. One fun idea that I got from The Mailbox magazine, which I use all the time, is the Letter Monster. So, BLFs, you definitely can do this at home! Leave Letter Monster in the kitchen and work on letters during breakfast or lunch or dinner!

Creative Learning

I believe every moment is a teachable moment. Babies are born to learn and they learn best through living. Put away the flash cards, the worksheets, the electronic devices and have some fun while learning through songs, rhymes, creative play and more!

Rhythm, rhyme, repetition...these are the building blocks of early literacy.

This is a free, fun idea to use at home with your child. Make a nursery rhyme cube and a song cube. Print out this template. Then fold and tape together. Print out pictures that represent nursery rhymes and popular preschool songs and tape them to each side of the cube. Now you and your little one just roll the cube and start singing and rhyming away! They will learn all of the rhymes and songs and then you can make more cubes!
