Materials Needed
Thankfully this is one of those activities that requires very little effort to set up!
- Empty paper roll (paper towel, toilet paper, or even and empty wrapping paper roll will work)
- Dot Stickers
- Marker
How To Make ABC Sticker Match
Set up is so easy. Start by writing all uppercase letters on the paper towel roll. You can choose to work on the whole alphabet (like I did) or focus on a few letters that your child needs a little extra practice with (Gg, Qq, Rr). Write the corresponding lowercase letters on your dot stickers.
Now it’s time to learn! Have your kiddo match the lowercase dot stickers to the right uppercase letter written on the paper roll. ABC sticker match not only helps with letter recognition but also fine motors skills. You know I love a good fine motor activity.
Stay close to your little one during this fun activity just incase they have any questions. And if your child isn’t ready to match upper and lower case letters then focus on only uppercase OR lowercase by writing the same on both the paper roll and the stickers. This fun learning game is customizable to your child’s skill level.
This budget friendly activity for preschoolers is so easy to make and kids get so much out of it. My daughter had a great time working on this game. It kept her busy for a solid 15 minutes and she asked to do it again. So save your empty paper towel rolls and turn them into the best literacy game for kids!
