One of the first words that many toddlers and preschoolers learn to read, write and spell is their own name. You can help them along the way by labeling their items, putting a sign on their door etc… but it’s always great to get hands-on with some activities for kids

Oh they are great name activities. IThe twins have chairs with their names on and they can tell which is theirs. Shame they have drawn all over them so they can’t see it anymore.

That is pretty cool and fun.
I admit that I easily forget the names of those people I met a few days ago and that is really weird.

Some really good set of name activities 🙂 I wrote my son’s name and stuck it on the wall of his room. He scribbled and painted all over it ( like it were an easel). This was good because he now understands the letters in his name 🙂 It was great seeing him learn a new letter and point it out in his name 🙂
Thank you for the link party. I linked my post.
