Letter H Hide and Seek Game and Craft for Kids

Letter H Hide and Seek Game and Craft for Kids

What we used:

felt stickers we got at Target last year

sharpie

orange construction paper

few more fun stickers

What we did:

This is such a simple idea but it is great for letter recognition with kids.  My oldest 5.5yr knows what the letter H looks like but little brother 3yr is still learning.  Having to peel the backs off the stickers is great for fine motor skills.  And this is the perfect time to review colors.  Even add going over them in a second language if you want.  You can also count the stickers to add a little math in there too.

So we worked on our fine motor skills already with our craft.  Now lets work on our gross motor skills with a game.

What we used:

sharpies

white paper

scissors

What I did:

I cut up my paper into 4 sections.  I took these pieces and wrote out uppercase H and lowercase h on them.  Next I went through the house and hid them.

I did not make this hard but you can.  I even thought about taping them up high in places but stuck with simple.

The kids now came to seek out the hidden letter H.  I went over the letter H and what it looked like before my 5.5yr and 3yr went to hunt for them.

It did not take long for them to start finding them.  They got to run around the house which is great for gross motor skills.  

Even after thinking they had found them all, there were still a few to find.  Once they had all the letter H papers they sat down to match them up.  Lowercase h to uppercase H matchup was the end of our game.  Everyone won!
