Fishing for Letters

How we did it:
Materials List
- foam letters
- bowl
- water
- slotted spoon and/or tongs
-
You may have some of these foam puzzles around the house and this is a fun idea to use them in a different way. If you don't have these type of foam letters, you can also use plastic, magnetic letters or plastic bottle tops with letters written on them in permanent marker.
-
Put foam or plastic letters in a bowl of water. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out a letter and transfer it to the empty bowl. As your child scoops each letter, encourage him/her to say the name of the letter and/or the letter sound.
-
You can also ask your child to hunt for and scoop out a certain letter. "Can you find the 'M'?".
-
You can also use kitchen tongs to transfer the letters from bowl to bowl. That was a fun challenge and great for practicing fine motor skills!
