ABC Party

Sometimes we forget that they are little and don't have the ability to do things that older children can do.

Simple activities that don't take a lot of time are best for this age group.

ABC Party Fun

If the letter shows up twice in a name rather than repeating the game, have a coloring page the children can color.

To keep track of the letters and activities completed you can post blank pieces of paper on the wall...one for each letter of your childs' name. As each activity is completed tape a large letter to that paper. When all letters are in place your childs' name will be spelled which means its time for cake and ice cream.
