ABC Heart with Clothespins

Set out and encourage your child to match the letters! This is a wonderful activity to build fine motor muscles, work on hand-eye coordination, and develop phonic awareness. Keep your ABC heart as your child’s letter recognition skills improve, and use it as a tool to continue practicing their alphabet phonics.
