One of the best parts of homeschooling is being able to think and teach outside the box and the classroom. This opens up all kinds of opportunities for fun activities, both inside and out and a way to make what seems like just a fun afternoon be a learning experience. In this post, I have gathered up all kinds of alphabet activities from games to fine motor activities and even sensory bins. There are clean and messy activities here and activities for all kinds of weather. I hope you have fun with yoru kids with these 50+ activities that teach the alphabet.
