Preschool Alphabet Activity
The Active Alphabet -- I need to make some cards for J as he'd love this activity!
Spent most of the day with him practicing his alphabet on the Fisher Price keyboard attached to my laptop (tracing letters with the mouse/pen)... he's so excited that I can figure out the letter he wrote. I think he may be able to write his name before he's 3 1/2 -- unless some other interest develops before then!

Use this list as it is, or come up with fun action words of your own!
* A is for Airplane — Pretend to be an airplane. Spread your arms way out at your sides and "fly" around the room. Don't forget to add sound effects too!
* B is for Bow — Show your child how to take a bow by bending from the waist.
* C is for Clap — Clap your hands together.
* D is for Dance — Put on some music and dance.
* E is for Elephant — Pretend to be an elephant by making an imaginary elephant trunk with your arm.
* F is for Frog — Jump, hop, or leap like a frog.
* G is for Grin — Smile!
* H is for High-Five — Show your child how to give a "high-five." You each raise your arm above your head, and slap your open hands together.
* I is for Itch — Pretend to scratch an itch.
* J is for Jump — Jump. (Some young children may not yet have the coordination to jump. If not, then "J" can be for Jog.)
