We have teamed up with bloggers from around the world to bring you a Kindergarten Blog Hop. A monthly theme will be set and each blogger will choose a different area of the curriculum. This months theme is Apples and we have chosen a phonics based activity – Apple Alphabet Match.

As soon as I saw this cute 3D Apple Notepad
As Adam is confident with recognising lowercase letters of the alphabet, we are beginning to work on his uppercase recognition. I printed a-z on apple cards from Twinkl and laminated them for durability. I stored them in a wooden apple box my husband received as a present. Inside the 3D Apple Notepad
During the game Adam had to pick a lowercase apple from the wooden apple box and tell me its sound. He then had to search through the 3D Apple Notepad
I was suprised with how well Adam focused at this activity. Whilst searching for the uppercase letter he sang the Alphabet song, pausing in between each letter as he separated the pages. If he turned over too many pages at once he flicked back to where he was originally.
As the alphabet was repeated several times in the notebook it didn’t matter where he started within the apple. I loved seeing the excitement on his face when he was able to match the two letters.
I can tell we will be playing our apple alphabet match for many months to come.
Equipment:
* Printed a-z on apple cards from Twinkl

That apple notepad is just perfect for this activity! I love the last pic – he looks so proud of himself!
He certainly was. Got to love a 3d notepad!
What a fun notepad! My daughter needs to work on matching upper case to lower case letters so I think this activity would be a fun way to practice that! 🙂
I have to say we do love our apple notepad and it isnt expensive either.
That’s an awesome notepad! It’s great how you turned it into a learning activity! Love the idea! Now to find one of those notepads so I can do the same activity with my kids! 🙂
The notepad looks even better in real life and there are a variety of different fruit and vegetables available!
I love how the apple notepad fans out to create a #D affect. Super cool idea! Thanks for participating in the KBN Kindergarten Blog Hop!
Such a brilliant notepad with lots of opportunities!
A fun way to learn your alphabet!
