Alphabet Stamps

What You Need:

• Foam alphabet letters
• Baby food jars
• Paint
• Glue stick
• Sheet of paper
• Paper plate

What You Do:

1. Sort through the foam letters and make sure you have one for every letter of the alphabet. Singing the ABC song is a great way to remember any that you forgot!
2. Ask your child to glue the foam alphabet stickers to the bottom of the jars with a glue stick, making sure to glue them backwards so they face the correct way when stamped.
3. Let the glue dry.
4. Squeeze some paint onto a paper plate.
5. Have your child press the alphabet stamps into the paint, and press it straight down onto their sheet of paper. They can print their name, or a whole message this way.

For some added practice, talk to your child about the sounds that each letter makes, too!
