Activity of the Day

Feed the Monster Letter Matching 

Help your child learn their letters by feeding a hungry monster!

Things You’ll You'll Need

  • A cardboard box

  • Colored paper

  • Marker

  • Scissors

  • Glue

  • Envelopes or small cards

Step-by Step Process

  1. Transform a cardboard box into a friendly monster by covering it in colored paper. Draw a big mouth on the box and cut it out—this is where the letters will be "fed" to the monster.

  2. On envelopes or small cards, write letters of the alphabet. You can use uppercase, lowercase, or a mix, depending on what your child is learning.

  3. Scatter the letter cards on the floor or a table. Call out a letter and help your child find it and "feed" it to the monster by slipping it into the mouth.

Why It’s Great for Learning

Extra Fun Suggestions

  • Turn it into a timed challenge to see how fast they can feed all the letters to the monster.

  • Use the monster box for sorting colors or shapes to extend its usage.

  • Decorate the monster with additional features like eyes, ears, and hands to spark more creativit
