Easy Clothespin Name Recognition Activity for Toddlers
This DIY toddler learning activity is perfect for introducing your toddler to their name in a fun and engaging way! They will love clipping the clothespins onto the cardboard to match the letters.
Cost: Free
Materials
- Cardboard (I used an empty diaper box)
- Glue
- Paper
- Marker (I used a black sharpie)
- Clothespins
- Optional: stickers, googly eyes, or anything else your toddler might be interested in.
Instructions
- Cut a piece of cardboard large enough to write your toddlers name in big bold letters.
- Write your child's name using the markers. I recommend using capital letters because they are easier for kids to recognize and write when they are older.
- Measure and cut out squares that are approximately the same size. Write each letter of their name on a square.
- Put a small dot of glue on the clothespin, then press the letter firmly onto it and hold it in place until it dries slightly. (See image above)
- Allow the letters to fully dry.
- Show your toddler how to clip the clothespin onto the cardboard to match the letters.
