In the butterfly room the children have shown an interest in their own names and the similarities between their friends names, “We have the same start name.”
To help develop this we have been using new name cards for the children to choose their lunch for that day. These cards have been giving our children more opportunities to recognise their own names and also copy/write their names.
Here are some other ideas of helping children recognise their name and also identify and match letters in their names and family members names.
You can use items such as; shaving foam, flour, rice, bubble bath and conditioner. Or if you are lucky enough to have a garden with sticks and stones you can give this a try too.
Can you think of anything else?
Have some fun experimenting.
