Legos and Playdough

Try these fun play dough and lego activities with your children. 

Have them make letter imprints in the play dough using legos! Super easy but super fun. 


You could also lay out different colored balls of play dough with different colors of legos and have them practice coloring matching. 

It may also be a fun idea to mix different colored legos inside the ball of play dough, have your child search for the ones that don't belong (the ones that are a different color).

Playgroup Activity: Tracing with Yarn

Here's a fun activity to help your child get excited about writing. It's also a great practicing tool.

What you'll need:


                 Sandpaper                                   Crayons                                                  Yarn

Cut the yarn into several pieces of different lengths. Then draw some shapes and letters on a piece of sand paper with crayon. You can usually find sandpaper sheets at your local hardware store but try the dollar store first. They'll probably have it for cheap. The yarn pieces will actually stick to the sand paper as your child traces the letters and shapes. Who knew? This is a great activity to do in a playgroup and is really easy.
