During outdoor time, write letters on pavement with sidewalk chalk and give the children spray bottles turned to the spray/stream setting. You could also use squirt bottles from condiments such as catsup or mustard. Challenge the children to spray water following the lines of the chalk letters. It's a good way to build hand strength and coordination as well as letter knowledge.
