🥰🥰HIDDEN LETTERS.Here’s a super simple activity that takes minutes to set up! Write some letters on a page using a white crayon and then use watercolour paints to reveal the letters. As your child discovers a letter encourage them to say the sound..Alternatively you can replace the letters with CVC words or tricky (sight) words- whatever needs to be worked on. ☺️..........#phonics #phonicsfun #phonicsforkids #phonicsactivities #learningthroughplay #playideas #playathome #learnthroughplay #playmatters #earlyyears #earlylearning #playislearning #playbasedlearning #homeschool #homeschoolpreschool #homeeducation#preschoolactivity #preschoolathome #eyfs #eyfsideas #playtolearn #earlylearning101 #handsonlearning #activitiesforkids #earlychildhoodeducation #kidsatplay #inspiremyplay ...
