Materials Needed
Printable (see free download below,) tweezer tools, foam marshmallows (25mm by 30mm), pretend campfire (I found mine in The Spot at Target), dot stickers, permanent marker
Set-Up
- Print the s’more sheets and laminate for durability if desired.
- Write each letter of the alphabet on a dot sticker. Decide if you want to work on lowercase, uppercase, or a mixture of both. Place a sticker on each foam marshmallow.
- Place the “fire” in the work area along with the fine motor gripping tools such as tweezers.
Time to Play and Learn
Invite the children to roast a marshmallow. Have them select a marshmallow with the tweezers or tongs.
Name the letter on the marshmallow and then “toast” it in the fire.
Finally, place the marshmallow on the corresponding graham cracker or chocolate square on the sheet.
Repeat with a different marshmallow.
This activity can be done by matching lowercase to lowercase, uppercase to uppercase, or lowercase to uppercase.
