Preschool Hack: Alphabet Fishing

The alphabet is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated. Mostly, I feel like a drill sergeant & that is not my goal. Granted, learning is not always rainbows & lollipops, but at times, both Paige & I feel like dissolving into tears over what comes after the letter D.
Anyway, I decided to make it a little more fun this week. The goal is to fish for the words that match the letter being used as 'bait' on the end of your fishing line.

Supplies:
the 26 letters of the alphabet on little pieces of paper
26 words that each start with one of the letters on separate strips of paper
string
paper clips
magnet

I made Paige find & match each of the words to its corresponding letter on the wall. After she matched them, I put a paper clip on the slip of paper.

Then, using the individual letters as 'bait', she fished for the word starting with the letter. The string had the magnet on the end.

Pretty simple & easy. Also, just a disclaimer, do not let your kid play with the string unless you are supervising them. No need to have any fatal alphabet-fishing accidents hanging over my head.
