Use permanent markers to write letters on ping pong balls, one letter per ball.  Add the balls to the water table.  Using small aquarium nets, encourage children to fish for letters.  You can ask the children to fish for a specific letter or simply identify the letters they catch.   You could also do this with numerals, shapes or colored dots on the ping pong balls.
