Train To Lettersville | Easy Toddler Activity To Learn Letters

Introducing letters to toddlers through play is a fun way to help them begin to recognize letters.

 

This game is so easy to set up and is perfect if you have a wooden train set or similar.

 

The Setup

You will need:

• Train track, road or similar.
• Letters (we used our magnetic ones)
• Tray (we used a metal baking tray)

 

What to do:

• Build a train track.
• Set up a train with some wagons.
• Lay some magnetic letters along the track.
• Place the tray along or at the end of your track.

 

How To Play

Instructions:

• Drive along the track collecting a letter each time.
• Say the letter sound and transport them to Lettertown (the baking tray).
• Talk about the letters. Say them “M, m…m for mummy”.
• Extension – if you have an older child or toddler who needs a challenge then you can add a some post-its with letters or simple pictures for them to match their letters to.
