I love easy, diy educational activities that I can put together for my kiddos.
This Alphabet Pumpkin Match is something I was working on with my preschooler recently for our Creative Preschool Pumpkin Theme.
It is easy to put together, cheap to make, and worked on uppercase and lowercase letter recognition.
Recently we were at Target and I found these cute pumpkin die-cuts in the dollar section. Don't you just love the dollar section at Target?! I conveniently park by that entrance even if what I need is on the opposite side of the store. You never know what you'll find! Thus, I bought two packs and saved a ton on ink and paper ; )
This activity is definitely adaptable to other concepts, too. So if you are kinda over working on the alphabet at the moment, try numbers or use pictures to create opposite or rhyming word puzzles! Work on reading skills by writing simple CVC words and use the puzzles to work on word families. So many possibilities!
Preschool Pumpkin Activity
I wrote an upper and lowercase letter on each pumpkin and then cut it in half to create a puzzle.
Once it was ready to go, Little Sis and I spent some time together matching our alphabet pumpkin patch!
What are some fun festive ways you work on letter recognition with your preschooler?
