Post Alpha-Bits Cereal helped us with our spelling at our Alphabet Play Program!

Our momstown Milton tots had a blast using Post Alpha-Bits Cereal to practice spelling their names at our Alphabet Play Program! Our featured letter was "N" and we decided to gear the program around names and numbers.

We started off by making personalized name plates that the kids could hang on their bedroom door. They had so much fun searching through all of the letters to find what they needed to spell their names and even shared between tables in order to complete the task.

We did have to replenish our supplies a few times due to letters going missing to hungry tummies. Did you know that Alpha-Bits Cereal is a source of 9 essential nutrients and an excellent source of Iron and Thiamin. It's not only a great way to start the day but also makes a tasty snack when on the go!

Once we were refueled, we focused on a numbers matching game and then participated in an active spin the number game. The little ones practiced counting out loud as they had to perform various tasks depending on what number the spin wheel landed on.

Learning can be fun. With a little imagination and creativity you can capture your child's interest to explore and excel. Be sure to register to be momstown member so that you can join us at our next Alphabet Play Program!

L is for Letters at our momstown Alphabet Play Program sponsored by Post Alpha-Bits Cereal

Our momstown Milton Alphabet Play is already popular amongst our members so when we announced that Post Alpha-Bits cereal was sponsoring the event for the next year our mamas quickly went to work signing up for everyone that they could possibly get into. Mamas love the educational component that is emphasized each week in our programming through books, songs, activities, tracer sheets and crafts.

This week we were working on the letter "L". Our focus was letters so we started off with a simple "L" craft with alphabet letters. The craft was left as an "open" concept to decorate as they wished and our little eager beavers decided that they would use the letters provided to spell out their names.

We then moved on to an identification activity. Flashcards were held up with pictures and the kids had to shout out what letter the picture began with. Mamas helped by overemphasizing the beginning sound to get the kids on the right track - A-A-A-Aligator.

Snack time - I mean craft time. Actually it ended up being both! Each person received their own cup of Post Alpha-Bits cereal to match to an Alphabet Letters worksheet. Kids couldn't resist popping a couple into their mouth as they searched for the corresponding letters.

After tasting a few, one at a time was not fast enough so they actually started to drink their cups and filled their mouths with as much as they possibly could.Needless to say I was reaching for the box to top up the cups 2-3 times! The moms didn't mind one bit since they were aware that Post Alpha-Bits cereal provides a source of 9 essential nutrients plus is an excellent source of Iron and Thiamin.  

We moved over to our next activity which was magnets. These are always a hit with the little ones so my Melissa and Doug Alphabet Magnet board was quickly surrounded by keen helpers to place the letters in the correct order. I did learn that smaller case letters did present a bit of a challenge for this  young crowd but with a little direction we were able to complete the task.

We ended off the program with each participant getting to take an entire box of cereal home with them and taking pictures in front of the pretty blue sign that the kids couldn't take their eyes off of!

A big shout out to Post Alpha-bits for the free swag and for being so generous in sponsoring our Alphabet Play Program for the next year!
