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