When we were doing playdough this week I showed Q how to roll "snakes" and turn them into letters. She named letters and then we worked together to create them. I have a set of "playdough letter cards" that I need to round up for her! Basically I took photos of the playdough letters, laminated them, and put them out with the playdough for my students to recreate the letters.
This is a great way to teach letters by appealing to the tactile nature of young children. Rolling and shaping the letters in dough helps build the concept of the various letter forms in their hand muscles and brains.
