Easy ABC poster and alphabet learning game activity for preschool and toddlers.

This ABC poster and alphabet learning game is an easy one to create with your children so that they can see you writing each letter and work on pre-reading skills.

You do not have to be an artist to do this. How often for your kids ask you to draw a picture for them, or add a special drawing to their artwork? My preschoolers have always enjoyed when I would draw something on their paper-even my toddlers recently were asking me to draw owls on their papers. I have no idea where the owl thought popped into their heads, but I tried my best. It was not even close to looking like an owl. Don’t worry about your artistic skills. This is more about spending quality time with your child.

Making the most of your time at home with your children just makes sense. My kids get a bunch of time to play on their own while I am doing dishes or folding clothes, so I try to plan in at least one or two learning activities per day that are geared towards having fun and preparing them for school.

My toddlers and preschooler learn together since they are all home with me while my oldest is at school. I love that both toddlers and preschoolers can work on many of the same activities and learn at their own pace together. That makes things a little easier for us parents!

To start you need 2 supplies. That is it!

ABC Poster Supplies

Large piece of paper or poster board. (If you do not have either, just use one piece of construction paper per letter.)

Crayons

Make the ABC Poster

Going letter by letter, singing the ABC song with your children, write each letter on the piece of paper or poster board.

Leave space next to and under each letter.

Sing slowly so your child sees you write the letter while hearing you say it.

When you are done writing each letter, go back to A and draw a picture of something that begins with the letter. Do this for each letter.

Don’t worry about your art skills. There were many drawings I made that are not very good, but we had fun thinking about each letter, saying the sound and my kids love seeing me draw…even if not very well!

We did not get the entire poster completed in one sitting-just to be honest. It took us a couple of days, and I think that is ok. Take your time-go at your child’s pace. You can even get out an alphabet book like the ones below to scan them for picture ideas.


When we did complete all of our drawings, we sang the ABC song again.

I pointed to each letter as we sang to give the kids that visual connection and deepen their pre-reading skills.

I hung the poster on the wall with masking tape so the kids would have it at their eye level to interact with during the days.

After the poster had been displayed for a week or so, I cut the poster apart. That one simple act turned our ABC poster into an alphabet learning game.

Alphabet Learning Game

I placed all of the pieces of the alphabet poster into a zip top bag and stored it with our other learning games that we use for homeschool preschool and tot school activities.

When my preschooler needs an activity-and as part of her homeschool lessons for learning letters-I can pull out this alphabet learning game for her to arrange in order. That is the learning activity-she can put the ABC poster together like a puzzle.

It cost us nothing to make. We spent quality time together learning. I felt like a successful mom for engaging my kids in the experience, and we have this learning game available for as long as it lasts. I can’t wait to use it more with the twins this coming fall when they start more engaged preschool activities!

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are kid-made; some were gifts to commemorate milestones like marriage and births; some we purchased each year with the theme of that year to remind us. 

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?

Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been going well. Weaving the activities in as learning, art and service projects in our school days has been our way of fitting in the extras this month. 

It is not that we ignore acts of kindness other times of the year. An act per day when some require driving or leg work to drop off gifts, cards or gather supplies adds some time. 

I want to keep this going after Christmas too to keep us actively displaying love and being the hands and feet of Jesus. Probably more for me than the kids!

To do that I want to make a bigger list of actions we can take. We have 25 plus a couple resources from @shelivesfree  and @coffeecupsandcrayons I will plug into a blog post. 

One act we did was decorating and sending Christmas cards to the grandparents. It was our “keep the hands busy and the mouths quiet” during read aloud time. (My method...) 

What are the random acts of kindness on your list? What are acts of kindness others have done for you that have been appreciated?
