Thanks for the tip about the letters too – she’s obsessed with animals so I might have to do some animals. Thank you for replying to me, I really appreciate it.

Start her with scissors now. A great way to start is with plastic ones that won’t cut paper , but will cut play dough. Then move up to safety scissors and scrap paper once she can do it.

Personally I do the letter activities as he shoes interest in subjects I can make into one. When kids are invested in the subject the lesson is much more effective. So if she is into flowers – do Vase V first for example. The reality is , letters are not in alphabetical order much in daily life except if you are filing something so they don’t nee to be for this either, I like them mixed up so that kids see that .

I hope that helps!

My daugther is 2 and I’m not sure if I should be exposing her to scissors yet or not? I love all your activities. I need to remember though to keep it fun and make sure I don’t get frustrated when things don’t quite go to plan… A skill I need to work on I think.
One last question – do you think it matters what order you to the letter activities? Thanks alot. Love all your work! 🙂

Sorry I missed this comment until now 🙁

My son was about 22 months old when I started. I started them at the start of the school year and he turned two at Thanksgiving. That said he was very into letters so he was into making them but some of the steps were still too hard. He had fun but he didn’t really get into them until a few months later after he turned two.

Like Nikki said though they are adaptable and fun to do even if they aren’t grasping it all.

My advice try it – if it tanks no biggie. Try again in a month.
