The bonus is that it helps to organize all those little toy cars and trucks, too. 5.  Use cardstock and crayons to create a book with a page about each letter of the alphabet.  Punch wholes and string together to make a little book. 6.  Letter in a Tree is a science activity wrapped up with letter recognition too! 7.  Here is a sensory bin idea for each letter of the alphabet.  Every letter is represented in a huge list of sensory activities. 8.  This is hide and seek with a literacy twist!  Here are two versions of playing a fun game while practicing letter recognition at the same time. 9.  Alphabet exercise is so much fun!  Every letter of the alphabet has a corresponding exercise like D for dance and G for gallop. 10.  Take the ABC’s outside and hide letters around your yard like an easter egg hunt.  When they find them all, they have to match them onto a game board you can make.
