Fill a large plastic container with water. To make it more engaging, add blue liquid watercolor. Add lots of magnetic letters and several large plastic ladles. Call out a letter and encourage the children to find the letter. To add difficulty, ask the children to identify letters as they scoop them from the water. For the children who are just starting to work on letters, you can talk about them as you pretend to eat. Say, “This J is so yummy!” Talk about the letters and relate the letters to a name or something the children are familiar with such as, “I found an M. That is the letter for McDonalds.”
