What are some things to do with preschoolers outside involving the letters of the alphabet?

Question

preschool age children

Answer 1

I work in a preschool and my kids loved it just recently when I found a stick and a dirt patch on our lawn. I wrote our names with the stick in the dirt and soon after a bunch of my preschoolers wanted to try to write letters or their names.

Answer 2

One of the fun things we like to do is letter painting.

Supplies needed...

scissors child & teacher

butcher paper white

tempra or water color paint

paint brushes

smocks

table (optional)

scotch or masking tape

Write the letters big and cut them out of the paper, do this so you can use the cut out and the templete as well. No waist. Have the children help you cut the letters they can be as big as you want them to be. Some of the children can paint the letters and others can trace the letters using the left over templete hole. The children can then paint them in the grass or on a table. When you are done tape the letters to the fence and let dry in the sun.
