How to Do the Name-Painting Activity

2. Have your child paint each letter of their name one-by-one with whatever paint colors they would like.
3. While your child is painting, discuss the letters being painted and what they are--for example, "The second letter in your name is an, 'a,' and do you know what the next letter is?"
4. Once all the letters are painted wait for the paint to dry and display the creation!
