Helping babies and toddlers learn about different shapes and to understand how things are alike and different will help prepare them to learn the alphabet.  \nActivity: Explore some objects with your baby or toddler. Let him hold the objects as you describe them.  \nExamples:  \n􀁸 Look at this round, red ball.  \n􀁸 Feel this soft, brown teddy bear.  \n􀁸 Here is a blue, square block. Let’s stack it on top of the yellow block.   \nIdaho Commission for Libraries, 2009  \nBabies/Toddlers...  \nShapes:  \nRead books that feature shapes, and talk to your baby or toddler about the things on the pages. Babies and toddlers also like to look at human faces .  \nActivity: Explore the books provided and talk about the shapes, colors, and sizes.  \nActivity: I Spy  \nUse the objects provided. Choose three objects and place them side by side. Say, I spy with my little eye something  . (Choose a color,  \nshape or size) Can you find it?  \nExamples:  \nI spy with my little eye ......something red  \n...something round...something tiny  \nIdaho Commission for Libraries, 2009  \nPreschoolers...  \nLetter Awareness  \nOne of the best ways to begin teaching your young child about letters is by focusing on the letters in his or her name .  \nActivity: Write your child’s name on apiece of paper and let her decorate it with the materials provided. Help your  child identify the letters .   \nActivity: I Spy  \nChoose a book from those provided. Tell your child that you’ll be looking for the letter of his first name in the book. When one of you finds it on a page, say, I spy with my little eye, the letter   !  \nIf your child can already identify her letter, play the game with the sound of the letter instead. Hannah’s name: I spy with my little eye something that begins with /h/ (hammer) .  \nIdaho Commission for Libraries, 2009  \nPreschoolers...  \nLetter Awareness  \nTo help your child become familiar with the shape of letters and practice forming them on his own, try these activities…  \nActivity: Clay letters  \n1. Print the letters of your child’s name on the paper, making them at least 6 inches tall (for younger children, try just the first letter) .  \n2. Roll lumps of clay or dough into long, thin strips.  \n3. Help your child form the strips over the letters. At first, your child can make the letter directly on the written model. He or she can progress to forming the strips below the written letter, using it as a guide.  \nActivity: Magnetic letters  \n1. Help your child find the letters of her name, then spell it out.  \n2. Mix up the letters and see if she can put them back in order again.  \nOlder children can look for the letters of their names when they are mixed in with a  \nfew other letters .  \nIdaho Commission for Libraries, 2009  \nSchool-Age...   \nLetter Awareness  \nBecause we use so many different types of print, it can be challenging for children to identify letters .  \nActivity: Letter Round-up  \nUse the letter cards provided. Mix them up and ask your child to find all the letter A’s, then G’s, Q’s, T’s and W’s.  \nActivity: I Spy/I Hear  \n􀁸 With a book: Choose a letter. Identify the  \nsound it makes . Look for objects that begin with that letter/sound in the alphabet books provided.  \n􀁸 Out and about: Choose a letter. Identify  \nthe sound it makes . Look around the room and find something that begins with the same sound.  \nIdaho Commission for Libraries, 2009  \nCenter Instructions...  \n􀁸 Choose a variety of alphabet books to set out.
