Summer is the perfect time to take learning outside.  Today we have rounded-up some of the best outdoor summer alphabet activities we could find!

These ideas will help keep learning fresh and fun while your little ones enjoy playing and growing this season.

A fun set of outdoor summer alphabet activities to keep the kids learning their ABCs all season.

Summer Alphabet Activities

LETTER FLIES

Turn your garage door into a magnetic spider web and play letter flies!  Best of all it requires minimal prep to play.

ALPHABET BUG SPRAY

What little one doesn’t like to spray water?  My boys love to squirt everything.  Toddler Approved came up with this super cute bug spray idea to work on letter recognition.  I love it so much!

ABC FLOWER VASES

Looking for another water idea?  Try these ABC flower vases to encourage little ones to identify their letters while enjoying a little flower arranging.

LETTER HARVEST

My kids adore this letter harvest game.  We played it numerous times last summer.  It’s a great game because it can be adapted to fit a variety of levels.

LETTER WATER PAINTING

Coffee Cups and Crayons shows us how to have sidewalk letter painting session.  A great way to work on letter formation.

BACKYARD ALPHABET HUNT

I love that this activity incorporates a lot of movement. Teach Mama shows us how to set up a backyard alphabet hunt.
