Alphabet Search

I was going through a few of my Montessori/School tubs and came across a pack of magnetic Alphabet letters my dad had given me a few years back. I held on to them thinking I'll use them one day but never came up with any ideas. I happen to be on Pinterest the other day and randomly came across some Alphabet activities. I took Little hands, Big work and We Can Do All Things ideas and combined them to make our Alphabet Search work. This is like a two for one because it's a language and sensory work.

For this work you'll need a bin, some rice or beans (I used both), magnetic Alphabet letters, Alphabet template and a baking tray or something that will hold magnets. Your child will more than likely enjoy using their hands to sift through the rice/beans to find the letters. In the event they are not big on touching rice/beans you can use a strainer to scoop up the letters.





Ava really enjoyed letting the sand and beans run through her fingers.
We went over each letter sound as she took them out.


All finished and so proud of her work!

  1. I love the idea of using magnetic letters and placing them on a metal sheet. I bet Ava loved it!
