Spray the ABC!

Here is yet another fun little game related to letter sounds and this one involves a spray bottle! Need I say more!? :D 

The 3 activities we did on letter sound identification were much loved by the Mini. Listing them here, in case you have missed them. 

• Letter Sounds and Object Match
• Letter Sound (of colours) Car Park 
• Object Hunt and Letter Sound Match - Sensory Play

For this activity, I first secured our wall behind, by taping a water resistant sheet on the wall over which I taped a sheet of paper. On this I had randomly written letters. Along side was a basket filled with random objects and a little spray bottle. The Mini had to pick an item, find the first letter of that item on the paper and spray it! Then move on to the next item until all are done and all letters are sprayed on!

The glee on his face says it all! :D

He had a blast with this one. Along with learning his letter sounds, he was also working his finger muscles by using that spray bottle  - double whammy! :)  I love such fun filled learning activities.

This activity took me less than 15 minutes to set up and minimal effort to clean up. I left the sheet on after he had completed one round of the activity. In just a bit, the paper dried up and was all ready for another round! I was delighted that the paper held for 3-4 rounds of play until the mini decided to attack it all over and sprayed every inch of it with water when it finally gave up and tore! :D

How I Set it Up:

• I first gathered random items from around the house. I made sure the items have different starting letters. I put them all in a tray.

• I then prepped our activity wall! As water play is involved, I first taped a water resistant sheet on the wall and then taped a sheet of paper over it. On this sheet, I wrote the starting letters of all the items that I had gathered from around the house.
• I placed the tray filled with objects and a spray bottle filled with water near the sheet.

• The little guy had to pick one object at a time, identify its starting letter, find it on the sheet and spray! Move on to the next item until all the items are done and all the letters are sprayed! 

Can you tell, much fun was had! :D :D
