Clothespins and Bulletin Board Borders

Have you picked up some of the cute bulletin board boarders at Target recently?  They’re in the Dollar Spot.  (They often have similar ones at the Dollar Tree).  Here’s a quick way to turn them into an easy activity to help your students learn their letters.  All it takes is writing the letters on the clothespins and you’ll be ready to go!

Practice letter matching with clothespins and bulletin board borders.

Need to make it more challenging?  Write lower case letters on the clothespins.  Not only will your students be practicing their letter recognition, they’ll also be building the finger strength to help them with their pencil grip.  Win-win!
