Yeah the paint came out no problem :)

My son loved the novelty of painting with "Daddy's Brush" . I need to do this again with him, this post was written in early May.

Eek, that looks like a nice cake pan – did the paint wash out?

I like this idea – I think my 2 year old would have a blast w/the big sponge and paintbrush – grown-up tools! 🙂 Enjoying the blog!

No I have been doing them in random order, because I do them as the craft sorta fits his interest so the idea will stick. So Mountain M was done after we talked about the mountains. In school I never followed the alphabet because we wanted the letters to be broken from that order so kids know that they stand alone.

As young as our boys are though I would say we are only introducing them and any exposure in a relaxed environment is awesome!

Great idea!

Also had a random question for you. Is there any theory behind the order in which you are introducing letters to your son? We recently started the Letters of the Week and I'm curious if I should just go in alphabetical order or try to teach the more common letters first. My son is about a month older than yours.

That giant sponge looks like so much fun to paint and print with! Thanks for the idea! 🙂 Amy @ Let’s Explore
