Our food theme name recognition activity will have our kids hoppin’ and poppin’ around today as they learn the letters in their name. Our preschoolers are going to get some movement in as they hop from letter to letter. This is an editable freebie that will allow your preschooler to work on reading and identifying their name, spelling their name, and even writing their name if they are up for the challenge. I have different ideas of how to use this name recognition activity at the bottom of this post, but first, let’s talk details.
This activity is a fun way to work on gross motor skills, name recognition, and letter recognition.
