Young Preschoolers
Activities
Three to four year olds are developing independence, language, and early academic concepts. Activities build on emerging skills in sorting, pattern recognition, early literacy, and creative expression.
Language & Literacy
Alphabet Hunt (3-4 years)
An engaging letter-finding activity where children search for letters A through J hidden in fun scenes, then match uppercase letters to their lowercase partners. This builds letter recognition and introduces the concept that each letter has two forms.
