This is a fun and easy game you can play with your kids.  You can make it a theme like Valentine’s Day or St. Patricks Day.  This Preschool Learning Game is a Matching Game that is inexpensive to put together.  Many dollar stores sell theme eraser packs around holidays like St. Patrick’s Day or Valentine’s Day.  Buy a few of these packs and put them in a bowl.  Then make sure each one has a match.  Most of them seem to have pairs in each pack.  Give the bowl to your kids and have them find pairs and put them aside, until they have emptied the bowl.  Then they can put it in and start again.

Reinforcing Letters with a craft is very effective for helping kids learn their letters.  This craft focuses on the letter J, with each Jewel they put on the crown, ask them what it is,  and what the J sound is in the word Jewel.  If they don’t know, explain what the letter sound is in the word Jewel and help them remember with each Jewel they place on the crown.

Supplies:

• Construction Paper
• Marker
• Glue
• Scissor
• Jewels

Steps:

1. Draw Crown outline
2. Cut out Crown
3. Glue Jewels on crown
4. Right the letter J then is for Jewel below it.
5. Put Glue on J and add glitter on it.  (optional)

Having the texture on the J is helpful since kids can feel it and it reinforces the shape of the letter.  Have your child help you read the sentance once it is written.
