6 Super Simple Sensory Letter Activities For Pre-k's and Kinders

As a pediatric OT, I teach a lot of handwriting. And I often have the honor of teaching it to kids who really dislike handwriting for one reason or another. Makes for a fun time together, right? Well, actually, it is! Learning how to write does not have to be boring, or hard, or a negative experience. It definitely does not have to be limited to paper and pencil. I like to use highly engaging sensory play to help kids build the fine motor and visual perceptual skills needed for handwriting. Here are 6 of my go-to's!

I will let the pictures speak for themselves!
