I also have a 4 year old that likes to have something to do. Drawing letters in flour looks fun. 🙂

Charlotte Mason also wrote about children under six writing their letters in a tray of sand as a kind of "play". Sounds just like your flour idea! 🙂 I'm not keeping trays of sand in my house anytime soon, but I do allow cookie sheets with cornmeal on them sometimes 🙂 I like the flour option, too. Might be a good activity on days when we make Christmas cookies. Thanks for the motivational post and pics!

He loved it, and it is very adaptable.

My 2 yr old would really enjoy this, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed holiday season.

I still have it. It's great for practicing cursive letters, too.

It's amazing to me how much Melody has learned just by her own observation and her own desire to learn. Sometimes when Grace is reading, Melody sounds out the words before Grace does… much to Grace's frustration.

I notice that you have an ABC puzzle. We have one too, and what I used to do with it is play a game with them. I'll say the sound of a letter and they have to find the letter and take it out. Then when it's time to put it back in, I'll say the name of a letter and they have to find the right one and put it back. They loved it!

Do you have the game "Boggle Junior"? Little ones love it. Sometimes I'll either play it with them, or have one of the older ones do it. Other times I just let them play it theirself.
