Letter Matching Activity for Toddlers

I like to research about age appropriate activities for a toddler. In Rae’s case, for a two year old. I like to incorporate Montessori activities (work) for our play because I love its principles. I don’t strictly follow the Montessori way, though. I don’t buy a lot of toys for her and when I do it’s mostly those that I think are educational and fun. Sometimes I do give in to what she wants (like her dolls because she’s in a doll phase) but I figured we can hold off plastic toys for as long as we can with an exception of Lego or Lego Duplo. I like choosing wooden toys because they’re of good quality and I know they will last for years to come. I also realized that we can also make use of whatever materials we have at home and incorporate that into our activities for the day. I like being resourceful, which makes it even more fun for me. This activity I’m about to share is about learning the alphabets. Rae is getting more and more interested in the alphabets. She recognizes most of the letters letters now, which is why I made use of our wooden Hape alphabet puzzle, printed out the alphabets on paper and did a matching activity. I searched for alphabet clip art on Google and voila! Instant alphabet print out for Rae. You can also choose to do your own, whichever works for you.

For reference, this is the wooden puzzle toy from Hape but you can also use plastic letters or even paper. It’s larger than how it appears to be in photos.
