Sandpaper Letters and Objects (and your Montessori Link-ups)

For Mondays Montessori Moment I’m going to tell you about a language work the children enjoy.
Using sandpaper letters and objects together helps the child match the beginning sound of the object to the corresponding sandpaper letter.
I usually put objects with 3-5 beginning sounds in a small basket and the corresponding sandpaper letters on a tray. The child chooses one sandpaper letter, traces it and then finds the objects from the basket and places them above the letter.

The children tend to choose this work often. The small objects are quite appealing! You can see more fun language activities HERE

Karen, If I am using 5 sandpaper letters, I mix the objects for those 5 letters into a basket.

Does that make sense?

(I'm so glad you were able to link up!)

We live in a zoo, This activity is usually done when a child knows some beginning sounds. I use this activity with 3 and 4 year olds. I'm sure your older child would enjoy this activity. Our youngest (1.5 years) likes to get involved by passing the objects to her older sister.Hope this is helpful!

What age group would this activity be for? I have a five year old and a 2 year old and I wonder if it would be suitable for them. You know so I don't go through the trouble of making sandpaper letters and all ;D
