Spelling with Clothespins



This is a great activity because it gives the kids a little fine motor skills practice while playing with spelling.   I made a little pile of sight words on cardstock and printed letters on clothespins.  (One of each consonant and a few of each vowel, though you really only need one of each to start.)  

At first I just had the clothespins spread out on the floor, but then I printed the alphabet on cardstock and we clipped the clothespins to that first to make them easier to find.  I think that helped a lot.


Great practice at sounding out words, identifying letters, putting them in order...and lots of fun!
