If you’re a regular Fun-A-Day reader, you know I am all about FUN and MEANINGFUL learning for kiddos. This mantra of mine applies to preschool alphabet activities, too, of course. Inspired by P is for Preschooler, this week’s Share It Saturday features are all about the fun ways to use magnetic letters to get kiddos learning about letters.

ABCs and 123s eBook
I absolutely adore this eBook. Yes, I’m a little biased since I worked together with other parents and teachers to create it. That doesn’t mean it isn’t amazing in its own right, of course! ABCs and 123s is full of 40+ kids’ hands-on activities for learning the alphabet and numbers. Each activity is kid-approved and geared towards children ages 2 to 8. Read more about the eBook now.
Hands-On Preschool Materials
It is imperative that we keep our classrooms stocked with materials that will give our students the hands-on learning experiences that they love (and need!). There are a few specific things that I always keep on-hand in my classroom. Check them out in the list below.
I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

When it comes to preschool, this list is really just skims the surface of the wide variety of materials that can be used. The best thing about this age group is that they learn the most while playing. So, whether they’re playing on the playground, building with blocks, or creating a masterpiece, rest assured that the children are learning so many important skills, all while having fun!

I’m trying to download the magnetic sorting letter sheets. However I can’t find them……sure it’s because I haven’t had enough coffee today. Can you guide me?
No worries, I completely understand. I need to come back and add a “download” button to the post. Right now, click on the highlighted text that says “5 free printable sorting mats you can grab” underneath the photo of my old white board with yellow and green letters.
