Alphabet Tubs
I wanted to find a fun way to introduce Wugs to letters and I came across the idea of doing an alphabet tub. These tubs can either include all the letters in the alphabet or focus on single letters. I didn't want to overwhelm Wugs so I focused on one letter per month. The idea is to fill the tub with objects that have names beginning with that letter. To compliment the activity, I added some flashcards so Wugs could match the images on the cards with the objects in the tub. This was a great activity for building up his vocabulary. I didn't continue with it beyond letter "C" though as creating the flashcards was a little time-consuming (and not necessary, but Wugs had come to expect it) and I found myself buying objects for the tub, so it might be a better activity to do with a slightly older child who has more toys.
