Learning letters and numbers: My kids learned their letters, colors, numbers, shapes, etc by using finger paints, play-doh, markers, colorful cotton balls and sidewalk chalk. I started teaching them when they were about 18 months so I supervised very closely. I just made learning as fun as possible! We mostly played outdoors, and I had an easel and kids table. As they grew and learned their letters and sounds, I started making words with finger paints and sidewalk chalk, etc. —mifamilia5 Read More
