Unicorn Letter Recognition Activity:

Hands-on activities are important for young children especially kinesthetic learners, because they can make the connection between what they are doing with their hands and what they are learning with their minds.

This interactive activity is a fun way for pre-readers to practice identifying capital and lowercase letters.

Depending on your children’s letter knowledge, you can mix capital and lowercase letter stars together and have them work on both. You can also have your kids practice letter sounds.

What Is Letter Recognition?

Letter recognition is the ability to recognize and identify all of the lowercase and capital letters by their shapes and names.

As your kids are learning the ABC’s, it’s important that they can distinguish between the letters too.

How To Use The Unicorn Letter Recognition Activity:

To use this letter recognition activity, your kids will pick a star and identify the capital or lowercase letter on it as they feed it to the unicorn.

If your children are just starting to learn the names of the letters, start with just a few stars. You can then add a couple of stars every time they play.

When your kids know all of the letter names, they can say the sound that each letter makes as they feed the unicorn. It’s easy to differentiate this activity for your kids!
