Christmas Light Alphabet Activity

I love creating themed activities for my son. He is also absolutely obsessed with Christmas lights so, I thought why not bring the two together? One thing we have been working on is alphabetical order so I created a fun Christmas light activity to practice.

As I said my son is obsessed with Christmas lights. We went out multiple times this year both walking and driving to look at the lights in our area. Every year we make a big batch of hot chocolate and go out and spend an hour or 2 looking at Christmas lights. It’s become one of my favorite traditions.

Put the Letters on the Tree

For this Christmas light activity, I drew a Christmas tree on some parchment paper and then drew lines for the lights to be hung. We then “strung” the lights on the tree in alphabetical order. We just did it on a table but you can absolutely do this on a hung piece of paper and tape the lights on.

Match the Christmas Lights to the Letters

This was the challenging activity I created for my son. First I drew a string of lights on parchment paper. Then I scrambled the upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet on the strings. I then gave my son 5 letters at a time to find and match. We came back to this one over a few days so it wasn’t overwhelming to him. I also taped down the letters with Washi tape. To make this easier you can stick to just upper or lower case letters at one time. You could also not scramble the letters and “string” them in alphabetical order with the uppercase on the top string and the lowercase on the bottom.

String the Christmas Letter Lights

This is a great fine motor skill activity. After I cut out the letters I put a hole-punched the top so he could string them. This is a great activity if you are just introducing letters to a little one. They can string the lights in any order and you can name the letters as you go. For more advanced children you can match the upper and lowercase letters and then string the. Or they can just string them in alphabetical order. This is a great visual that is also a decoration for the holidays.

Headed to the snow for Christmas 🎄 ❄️⛄️ Headed to the snow for Christmas 🎄 ❄️⛄️
Homeschool by the pool 🌞 We’re working on our Homeschool by the pool 🌞 We’re working on our letter sounds. These foam letters in the pool have been a big hit. We put the letters up on the tile and take turns calling out letters and letter sounds for each other to find. To take it a step up I started calling out words emphasizing the first letter sound and Ryan had to pick out the letter. We’ve had lots of fun. I wish I started this sooner in summer but I think it will be a great bathtub activity when it’s too cold to go outside.
We started our Geology unit study this week and we We started our Geology unit study this week and we’ve been having so much fun already. After reading a couple rock books and looking at this rock and mineral field guide Ryan made some rocks of his own. He especially loves crystals so he had to include those. The next few weeks are going to be a lot of fun and then we will move on to dinosaurs.
