Then, tape or glue the dinosaur on a paper bag or cardboard box (such as a small tissue box) and cut its mouth out. 

How To Use The Dinosaur Letter Recognition Activity:

For this letter activity, your preschoolers will select a piece of meat and identify the capital or lowercase letter on it as they “feed” it to the dinosaur. 

Dinosaur Activity for Kids

If your pre-readers have just started learning the names of the letters, start with just a few capital or lowercase letters.

After they can confidently identify those letters, add a few more letters every time your kids play.
