When to start teaching toddler alphabet
How to Teach Toddler's ABC Letters - Alphabet Activities
in today's video we're gonna be talking
about some ways that you can learn your
letters with your littlest ones we're
doing alphabet toddler activities and
also in this video I have a giveaway
that is sponsored by Safari Ltd they
have some new products I cannot wait to
show you that work really well with
learning your alphabet
hey hey you guys it's Christina from the
purple alphabet I wanted to take a step
back because she kind of requested so
many times and to be honest because my
kids are a little bit older now I don't
have a lot of things that I used to use
with my kids when they were babies and
toddlers but you guys requested over and
over and over and over and over again to
do more activities for the younger kids
and so when I get the opportunity I jump
on it so Safari Ltd sent me one of these
new toys that they have in their line
and it's pretty amazing
it's called bio buddy learning letters
for ages one and a half to six so I
thought this would be a perfect
opportunity to show you some learning
activities that you can do with this
plus some other ones too and learning
your letters and of course I'm gonna
have a giveaway on one of these so stay
tuned to the end for that you guys if
you're new I would love it if you hit
the subscribe button and join the purple
alkaloid community we do educational
activities for kids and lots of ideas
and inspirations so you can learn and
play at the same time it's pretty simple
it's fun and its really easy if you're
new say hi below in the comments I like
to hear from you and tell me a little
bit about yourself and if you aren't me
leave me a comment tell me what's going
on in your life and what kind of videos
you want to see on the channel because
you guys always give me the best ideas
so now let's do the activities on
learning letters for time gonna do some
alphabet stuff today so I'm pulling out
some alphabet stickers alphabet stickers
can be found at the dollar store at the
craft store sometimes a Target dollar
section here is some examples of ones
that I've accumulated over the years
almost like that or ones that are big or
like that
take your pick of what you want then I
have a piece of paper or you can use a
notebook doesn't even matter whatever
your preference is if a book is nice to
keep track of progress and I'm gonna
take a marker and I am going to just
write the letters on here
you can write them in sequential ABC
order you can also write them all over
the page you can stick to one type a
letter and maybe two letters at a time
I'm doing all uppercase and just as just
for a sake of example mixing them all up
here on okay
easy guys this is so so so easy you want
to make this activity simpler I would
definitely recommend doing a sequential
order or sticking to fewer letters
remember we're working with toddlers
here you don't want to get very
complicated our preschoolers and you
don't want to overwhelm them so you guys
know your kids best so make sure to
adapt to the level that they can do you
don't want to get too complicated and
have them get so frustrated then you
give them their stickers and then they
get to find the letters and do the
sticker match of course now that I'm
doing this on camera I can't get the
middle of my a out there we go so you
find your sticker and they match it up
to the letter there's the letter A oh I
need a P where's the P reach the piece
over here I guess the P and they put the
P on top of there like I said don't
overwhelm your kid with too many options
keep it very very simple or just fewer
letters and watch them do it the
matching maybe it's just a zandi's maybe
it's agencies whatever you choose okay
so simple very easy and they like it
because what kid doesn't like stickers
stickers are great
okay I'm gonna use that same piece of
paper just the back very very very I
like the simple stuff easy activity to
do write out your letters I'm using on
paper you could also do this on the
floor get some masking tape and just
cover the entire floor with the letter
and find bigger objects for this
activity I'm gonna use some small
objects now these are a choking hazard
if your child is oral do not use small
objects like this but if your child is
not oral you can definitely use these I
did with my children they never put
these in their mouths but I do know some
kids do so just just use your best
judgement you're the parent and use
supervision but now we are tracing the
letters and we're talking about it as we
do it this is the letter B the letter B
makes the buh buh buh sound and so when
you talk about the letters you can say
other things that make that letter name
my boy book balloon and you can ask your
child to repeat you to say the letter to
say the name now if you're using
something that's bigger in your house
maybe you decided to do the tape all the
way across the floor get building blocks
or giant Legos
or books or choose things that are
larger objects would work really well I
want to show you another example here I
have some wooden Jenga blocks from
Dollar Tree and these would work well as
tracing objects and you're just making
the outline now at this age we're not
learning how to make this shape but
we're just learning to recognize the
shape so I wouldn't be too picky
on the order and how they do this
because we're not learning to write them
yet we're just learning to recognize
them and there is our letter B look to
see what you have around the house you
don't have to use these you don't have
to use these I bet you you have
something that can be used to trace a
letter on a piece of paper or on your
floor you have suggestions for this put
them in the comments so that other
people can get inspired to do the same
thing too because your ideas are really
good and maybe you have some things that
I hadn't thought of and other people
might have at home to use if you have a
dry erase board at home those would be
perfect for my next activity I have one
here I got this from Daiso you can get
them from Dollar Tree you can buy them
pretty much anywhere nowadays you could
use a dry like one of sheet protectors
for a dry erase those work really well
I'm gonna use this mini dry erase board
cuz I like the size of it yeah if I can
find my dry erase markers here they are
and I have an eraser very similar to the
stickers where you would write letters
on here keeping it very very simple can
you circle the a find the a Circle it if
you have a more advanced child you can
do different shapes and integrate some
shapes can you put a square around the
letter C or you can have fun saying can
you find the P and erase it and they
love to erase stuff can you find the X
and erase it another variation on that
another this is another one that you
make as simple as easy as you can like I
said if your child is new at this and
they don't know all their letters just
start with two letters at a time can you
erase all the A's
and they find all the eggs and he race
all day is part of the be like I did
there something like that okay now
they're not learning writing but if you
do have an older child that is learning
writing you can have them write the
letters on the board if you have two
children one that's ordering one that's
younger have the older one write them
and the younger one erase them a great
way to double your learning there with
two children or more children if you
have a pad of post-its you guys post-its
are your learning best friend all you
need to do is put the letters on the
post-its its course best to look around
your room before you do this and then
have your child go and label the object
that has that letter so since I'm not
showing you my whole entire room here
let's say we had markers laying around
see how clever I was there and then they
would go and label that stick with
simple letters do one letter a day for
the beginners you guys don't get too
complicated and ambitious learning the
whole alphabet in one day stick to one
letter a week one letter a day whatever
you want to do and label things with I
just got marker all over me you pulled
things with the post-its the thing about
the post-its is is that they come off
and you can label something else later
do something more labeling the next day
and reuse them and they love to stick
them on it's just something about
sticking and taking them on they'll love
that
I'm bringing up my clothes pins with my
letters on them you guys can do this
yourselves it is so easy get a package
of clothes pins from Dollar Tree or I
think you've been target has don't take
a black sharpie and write your letters
right on them and this is a very simple
thing you can do and you can use them in
a different many many many different
ways I have these letter flashcards that
I've had for a long time they've been
pre-printed but you can make your own I
laminate in mine I like that they had
the uppercase and lowercase on them but
you guys you can use your post-its if
you wanted to because they're already
made and your child will not know the
difference I promise you so this is a
simple letter match I have the lowercase
on here in the uppercase here but of
course you would make yours correspond
correctly for the little ones limit it
to a couple letters don't overwhelm them
and that's just clipping them on the
post-it or clipping them on the card
whichever one you have
for a simple letter of match if you want
to get more complicated more advanced
you could do this as a matching the
upper case with the lower case that's
for a child that knows their alphabet
and you can get even more complicated
and do something on words for instance
this came with a whole bunch of words
I've showed you guys it's busy back
before and where you would clip it on
the actual word to make a whole entire
word so see these will go a long way
definitely invest in these it's a super
affordable learning tool here is the bio
buddy from Safari Ltd this is the
learning letter set and they call this
an echo toy and the reason why they call
it an echo toy is because of the
materials used to make these there's 36
pieces in here they recommend ages one
and a half to six so there is a lot of
learning that can be done using this one
set and you can have it grow with your
child we get one main platform here and
then here are all the blocks and then
you're gonna have some stickers in here
they're inside your guide that go on
your blocks and then this little book
tells you about the product and why it
is an echo product and so it talks about
that in here and then it gives you a
little guide that you can use with your
children and let me show you what you
can do with this because I think this is
actually really cool someone open up
these and put my stickers on here we go
we have all of our letters on the white
alphabet box and then the color blocks
they're on the side so you can see that
they're a little bit different now we
can begin and do some play with this so
obviously that you're a very simple
thing that you can do is stacking on
your blocks and playing with them like
you normally would this kind of
interlocking block game I'm gonna fit
right on there
this guide inside of here has some ideas
that you can play with these too
one of them is a told letter match on
here so you could just set this out and
use this to match up your letters you
can do a letter hunt you can just match
them to the picture as you go all the
way across until they're already filled
you can also put these in a bag and have
your child close their eyes and pick one
out say the letter and then put it on do
a letter sound instead of saying a
letter name goes there or you can try
one of the activities over here this one
actually has a spot to trace the letters
you could color them if you want and you
can do the same thing with the matching
on to the page this one I like
especially in the book because it's the
phonetic sounds so you would have to
find the thing that says huh-huh so
you'd have to find the correct letter to
match up with the letter sound so D for
a diamond like that I would actually
take these and put them in some
eliminated pockets because you could
definitely use this over and over again
some other ideas for this is doing some
CVC words okay so let me do some CVC
words here if I find my a here's my a
and now I put my T on here and now I can
find out which letters can go with this
so we know that works so I'm gonna put
the B here P works for Pat are works for
rats
so CVC words are definitely a preschool
or higher level activity but if you are
working on letter sounds you could just
put individual letters on here and work
through your sounds you can also do
really easy spelling words if your child
is just learning the letter names as you
placing the blocks on you would say the
letter names are and you would be
building and maybe you're building
uh-uh-uhh with the letter A for the
letter it's just a fun way to create
something while learning your letter
sounds at the same time you can also do
it to where if your child's doing a
review of all the letters you can reward
them by placing it on this board so
maybe they know this one oh good job so
we're gonna put that on your letter
board of letters you know what other
letter do you know oh you know a what
son does that make ah okay we'll put
that on your letter board until you have
all the letters stacked on here they can
put it on the board they'll like doing
that this is a good opportunity to learn
alphabetical order so if you're working
with your child you could sing the ABC
song and then work through and putting
them all in the correct order
anyone know where my C went
there you go there is and if you wanted
to take some of the letters out and then
have your child figure out where they go
so maybe these are the three that are
left out can you place them into the
puzzle and tell me where they go for a
letter order so they place them in there
looks like I got somehow to order you
guys why didn't you tell me there we go
now we're back in business and then
these are great because they have the
letters on the other side so when you're
building you can see them unless you
have some colored block options I also
like the size of this you guys just
because it's kind of compact so I could
probably put this in a restaurant kit
and take this to the restaurant with me
it's not that high of a profile it's not
like they keep larger building bricks
and so it will actually fit inside those
little boxes that I use so those are big
great for that just to take it like this
and to work on some letters you can also
sing the song and point to the letters
like this which i think is a lot of fun
too um you can have your child point to
the letter to show me that em show me
that show me that and and of course you
guys can build with these just build and
have fun making your own creations and
stacking and now for the giveaway
