Today Z insisted on doing something she had tried before and we have already blogged about it - Playdough Letter Press Activity.
You would need Play-dough, alphabets (magnetic, wooden, plastic any kind of alphabets cutouts), I also use a tray but this is optional.
Zoe loves playing with her phonics and numbers, she loves play-dough as well so this was a sure-shot hit for her. For Zoe I just use random alphabets, though now she does blend some CVCs like Sat, Bat Sit. I add lots of playdough on the tray, I use a lighter colour (as you can see in the picture) so that the letter traced is easily visible. The moment Zoe prints a letter she goes "Momma, look what Zoe made". She can easily stay busy with Letter Press Activity for a few minutes at a go... which is huge for a preschooler.

Kids can have so much fun with the simplest of things! Toys have almost gotten too complicated.
