Hopscotch letters: with an Easter egg theme

Hopscotch letters, is a game I learned from an education class. It's created to make learning/reviewing letters fun for our active toddlers. 

The set-up is simple, and all you need is chalk and a paved area. My theme today was Easter eggs, so I drew a line of different colored Easter eggs and wrote letters inside of them. I made sure that the letters inside the eggs were ones that we've already reviewed, however you may use this as an activity to learn new letters as well. Then explain the rules to your little one as follows: 

1.) Adult calls out a letter

2.) Child hops on each egg until he/she reaches the correct letter. 

I like this game because it not only targets the child's cognitive understanding of letters, but it also is a large muscle activity. Note: it is normal for a toddler to hop of both feet instead of one foot until they are about 3 or 4.

Other fun things to add to this exercise is having your child trace the letters with he chalk as well. They may need your help on this one, but it's a great early start on learning to write.
