B is going through a phase again where he is obsessed with letters. He wants to talk about them, sing about them, put them in order, match them, and have them rescue each other. The Melissa and Doug letters are my favorite! I made this quick letter puzzle for him (similar to the outline mat and spelling mats we’ve made before).

You could also make these puzzles for upper/lowercase letter matching, putting numbers in order, or spelling names.

Thanks for this great simple idea. We have that alphabet puzzle and I think my older son would enjoy tracing the letters for my younger daughter to match up!

Isn't that awesome that he is into letters all on his own initiative. Shows that he loves learning which is exactly what you want to see:)
