How to Do the Name-Painting Activity
To do this name-painting activity follow these steps:
- Use the permanent marker to write your child's name in big letters.
- Have your child paint each letter of their name one-by-one with whatever paint colors they would like.
- 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?"
- Once all the letters are painted wait for the paint to dry and display the creation!
