At-Home Activities for 24 to 35 Months

At about two years old, children begin to notice the different shapes, lines and circles that appear in printed materials. Create a Hall of Shapes to help your child notice the features of print.

Here is a fun game to play that will help expose your child to the letter shapes, learn the letter names and hear the letter sounds.

Your child will need to be able to discriminate between different shapes and letters in order to eventually be able to read and write words. This activity will help your child distinguish between shapes and letters.

Have you ever bought your child a new toy and he was more interested in playing with the box than the toy? Turn this into an opportunity to build your child’s letter knowledge in a fun way.

Let your child have fun exploring letters by using rubber alphabet letter stamps and an ink pad.

Your child’s name is very special and is a great place to start teaching letters of the alphabet. Your child will enjoy singing the song, the “Letters on the Bus,” while holding an index card with one letter of her name.
