Toddler ABC Hoopla!

May 18, 2013 By jbmumofone 29 Comments

Learning letters can be tricky so we made this game of ABC Hoopla to try and inject a little fun into learning.

To make this you will need:

  • 3 kitchen towel tubes
  • Coloured tissue paper
  • Sponge/felt letters or card letters A, B and C
  • Coloured card
  • Glue or double-sided sticky tape
  • 9 old bangles
  • 9 white sticky labels
  • Black marker

First roll three old kitchen-towel tubes in coloured tissue paper.  Next attach a sponge letter A, B or C with double-sided sticky tape to each tube.  You could simply cut out a letter from coloured card and glue this on instead.

Draw and cut out something beginning with each letter on coloured card and glue this below each letter.  We chose apple for A, bee for B and car for C.

Finally take nine old bangles.  To each bangle attach a sticky label.  On one side of each label write a capital A, B or C, with the corresponding lower case letter on the opposite side.

Making ABC tubes and hoops

You are now ready to play!

Simply encourage your toddler to place each lettered bangle over the corresponding letter-tube.  Hoopla!

Skills Your Toddler Will Learn:

    That’s very clever! I thought you used fridge magnets at first.You a few kitchen rolls to collect now so you can complete the alphabet.

    This is my kind of project, quick and simple but I bet it would keep my 2 monkeys entertained long enough for me to do some more Pinterest wandering. Coming from the Pin-It Party, this is me on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/blubirdsunshine/ – loving the new linky!

    Encourage your child to make the connection between objects and words by making some signs for your child to stick around their bedroom – a great way to help them out with word recognition. Using clear, lower case letters, write some signs on paper or card, with blue tac attached to the back. Use words to correspond with familiar objects, such as ‘toys’, ‘books’, ‘door’, ‘bed’, etc. Then, let them stick their signs around the room – older children may be able to guess what some words say but don’t labour over the actual learning of the words – just letting them play around with their signs will stimulate their interest in words and letters which is enough at this age.

    Fun! I’m a new reading specialist/special ed teacher, and I’d love to get involved in collaborating on the Pinterest board where I found this. How would I get started? I’m also looking for some sister sites/affiliates for my blog, if you’re interested!
    Thanks!

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
