Other:

Answer 2

try shaving cream, special markers, paper with the lines

Answer 3

Use a big chart tablet and let them sign in every day for a week.

Also, write center names on the chart tablet, and have them sign up for their choice of centers.

These activities make name writing purposeful. And signing in  each morning helps parents see which children need more reinforcement at home, without you ever having to say a word!

The children in my class really enjoyed writing their name in a shallow tray of sand.

Answer 6

I have laminated each child's name, letters done with tracing letter stamps, and every morning the children come in and trace their name with a dry erase marker....it helps with fine motor development and letter recognition.

Answer 7

sand trays (I use colored sand from walmart)

shaving cream

rice

finger paints

I always put a variety of writing utensils in my writing center (fat markers, skinny markers, pencils, crayons, ink pens, etc.)

alphabet stamps

pens in aluminum foil

Answer 8

Besides writing in shaving cream, rice trays- I've had them write their name with playdough. Do rainbow writing- where they trace around their name in every color of the rainbow- also always have them sign their own art- even if you can't read it.
