This activity is great for letter recognition. You can also work on practicing letter sounds. As they pull the letter out have them say the name and sound. If they don’t know it have them repeat after you. The kids have fun trying to guess what letter they will pick next. I printed out the alphabet and taped it to a magnet board. They love that the magnet letters stick to the paper.
