Some of our favorite writing activities to do at home:
Have your child write their name and their family members names
Write notes and letters to friends and family
Write or copy environmental print.
Writing names off of food labels (Cereal labels, vegetable can labels, etc.)
Write down words they see around the house
Writing the grocery list (or crossing it off while at the store. We just got apples, which word on the list would be apples?)
Labeling pictures they illustrate
writing stories or books at home

Here are some examples we found that explain the stages that a child goes through when writing.
