We have another maze activity! Strengthen Alphabet recognition with this fun ABC maze activity. And bonus, you can sing together while you do it!
Seriously, I’m loving mazes… Henry’s pretty good at them too, so they’re fun for both of us!
The counting maze was our first indoor maze, but before that we did the big maze outside first. I have a few more ideas up my sleeve too, so I can’t wait to try them!
Learn The Alphabet with an ABC Maze
This time we worked on the alphabet, the order of the alphabet to be more specific.
First we used painters tape on the floor to create the ABC maze.
Next we added the letters of the alphabet.
Instead of only putting the letters of the alphabet on the maze in order. This time I added in wrong letters if he took a wrong turn.
Henry never ever sings for me.
It wasn’t until he started preschool this past fall that he learned the alphabet song. And still its very rare for him to sing it to me.
I know he knows the song, but I wanted to put it into context to see if he’d know the order of the alphabet.
Bonus for me… This alphabet maze tricked him into singing the song for me! (hehe, I’m sneaky.)
And he does know his alphabet, all the way from A to Z.
I have several movies of him going through the ABC maze over and over, singing the song. This is the best movie I got of it, though he messed up the end of the alphabet on this one.
But he did surprise me when he finished… he took a stab at doing the alphabet backwards! And I have to say he did pretty darn good!

(Please… excuse the little mess up I even made with the end of the alphabet too…)
This post could be added to the 35 Activities for ‘Things that Go’! Henry loves driving through the maze!
What else can we learn from a maze?

VPNs are more stealthy, and more secure, so they’ll get you past more firewalls. For instance, knowing the number of community members involved in brand-related conversations can serve as an indicator of exposure, and the number of message threads and lines of text within a thread can serve as proxies of conversation depth.    Usually your IP deal with will be stored on the server logs of any net server you accessibility but when you use an anonymous Proxies 20122012 server then it has no record of your place or IP deal with.

Hurray! I have found the idea :) I thought I had pinned this to try out and had not. Wanted to use this idea with my daughter if that is OK going to tweak it a bit as we have only learnt a few letters will be sure to link back to your post. Going to pin it now :)
