Letter recognition activities don’t have to be complicated. Let’s keep them quick and easy.
Earlier this week we began sharing Breakfast Invitations and how they can add some serenity to your usually chaotic morning. Let’s begin our day with quick and easy letter recognition activities that begin the day with play.
Breakfast Invitations help me have a minute to drink hot tea and wake up. I am not a morning person, so this is a critical start to my day.
In this post, I will share three simple play ideas that offer practice with the letter and name recognition.

Here are three quick and easy setups to ease yours into the morning routine.
When I think of what makes a great Breakfast Invitation, I am thinking:
- What do my preschoolers already know?

First initial letter matching
Write the first initial on stones.
Write first initial on recycled cardboard.
Allow your preschoolers to sort the first initial of thier name. Picking up these small rocks is helping your preschooler use small hand movements just like they will when writing!
Rock letter sort
Continue to use rocks from the last activity. Write first initials on a large sheet of white paper. I added a third letter to hear what my three- year-old would do with it.
Build your name
Add rocks that represent each letter of your preschooler’s name. Write your preschooler’s name on the paper. Draw boxes below for your preschooler to build their name below.
