Name-in-Pasta!

Name recognition is really important for preschoolers; and learning to write your own name is crucial for Kindergarten. So, I wanted to do a fun "name project" that both kids could enjoy (ages 2 1/2 and 4 1/2). I wrote the letters in glue on cut out paper (they picked the paper colors) and I put different kinds of pastas and beans in bowls for them to place in the glue.

We worked on so many skills:

  • reviewing colors
  • fine motor skills
  • letter recognition
  • name recognition
  • tactile learning
