How do these activities tie into the letter of the week?
As part of your “Letter of the Week” series, these boat crafts provide a fun and interactive way to familiarize children with the letter “Bb”.
When children make these crafts, the connection between boats and the letter “Bb” is an easy association for young minds to grasp.
Every time they see or think about a boat, they’ll be reminded of the letter “Bb”. This association can act as a powerful memory aid, helping children to recall and recognize the letter faster.
In turn, this promotes early literacy skills and paves the way for successful learning in the future.
