Introduction
Hearing our name always gives us a fantastic feel. Kids always admire their names whenever they listen to it somewhere. How about understanding and recognizing the same. Is it awesome, right? Yes, my daughter always loves her name, and so I want to introduce this name recognition activity. Though she recognizes and spells the name, she was not aware of the sequence order. So, we did some DIY activities to understands it. As the name is a little short, it is quite simple for her to understand it very well soon.
Have a look at some of our DIY name recognition activities for preschoolers.
