Use magnetic letters and a metal baking sheet to create these ABC learning activities:
1. Place the letters in order but leave out every third letter and then have your child go back and fill in the missing letters. While they are sequencing the letters, they may need to go back to the beginning to recite the letters in order to find the next letter that is missing. Always have your child point to and recite the entire alphabet when finished.
