50+ ABC Games & Number Activities for Curious Kids

Fun ABC games and number activities for preschool & kindergarten learners!

When my kids were younger, I worried about them learning their alphabet and numbers.  So naturally, I asked their preschool teachers what we could do at home.

The response?

Don’t go overboard!

Don’t have them write letters or numbers over and over or push learning.

And don’t worry if they confuse ‘b’ & ‘d’ or write their ‘s’ backwards when printing their last name 🙂

What did they recommend doing instead?

 

ABC Games & Number Activities

Their teachers recommended that we just play together and not over-stress the ‘learning’ part of things!

Learning the alphabet is a huge tasks for any child. And it doesn’t happen overnight.

So it’s important to make it fun!

The goal is to follow your child’s lead — do what they love and while you play & create, point our which letters are being used in the activity.

PLUS, get the ABC’s & 123’s Book this week for 50% off!!

From August 4, 2018 – August 11, 2018

 

As you do more activities with your child, you’ll quickly see what they enjoy — they might love to build or color or get active while they play.  So continue to introduce the activities they enjoy and they will continue to learn!

For example, we love anything STEM related at our house so I know if it involves mixing, exploding, nature and getting outside — my kids will quickly say ‘yes!’ to an activity.

If your kids enjoy this too, you might go on an ABC Scavenger Hunt at their favorite playground.

Or make Magic Appearing Letters like these from Gift of Curiosity.
