I picked up this lesson from my time as a kindergarten teacher. On a piece of construction paper, we "write" a letter in glue and then place dried beans along the lines of glue. It's a great activity that hits some of the most important preschool skills, such as:
- reinforce left to right directionality (pre-writing and pre-reading)
- strengthen the pincer grasp (pre-writing)
- count objects (number sense)
- talk about the letter's sound and list words that begin/contain that sound (phonics)
- reinforce the shape of the letter to promote muscle memory (pre-writing)
