They have hunted through the letter stickers to find the letters in their names as well as their friends names.\r\nThey have asked nonstop for me to roll out the Kraft paper so they can do group art projects. Working on a group project is so amazing for learning because they teach each other how to write letters, numbers and shapes all without realizing they are learning! \r\nThe stamp pads are particularly popular when they do a group art project on the Kraft paper, they use letter stamps to again work on their names and simple words leading to even more learning.
