A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
The letter garden page or a full sheet of paper, plus two large child-appropriate crayons in different colors.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Open and print the letter garden page, or draw several large flowers and write A or B in each one.
- Read the key: A is red and B is blue. Without a printer, make your own key for two colors.
- Find each flower's letter and color it using the key. Count the flowers of each color, or choose your own colors for another garden.
Adult stays beside the child and helps read the key. Choose familiar letters and accept any marks the child wants to make.
