Letter Magnets Matching Activity

I enjoy creating simple and easy activities for my girls. 

This is a really easy activity you can try at home and probably right now! 

It’s super easy peasy and a great addition to aunty letter/alphabet activity your LO is currently working on. 

It incorporates a matching activity and matching activities are so much fun for learning through play!

I’ll be sharing below how I put this together, what I used and how you can go about using this same method for other early learning ideas you can add alongside your child’s studies. 🙂

• Tape (I used painters tape) 

• Alphabet Magnets

• Sharpie or marker 

These are the three items you’ll need for this simple activity! 

Note: You can also make this activity a non letter match activity and work on shapes, numbers and other fun early learning ideas. 

Alphabet fridge magnets for an easy learning game

Here are the steps I took to make this simple learning game fun and engaging for my LO. 

• I added tape onto a table making sure it created a zig zag form so it was maze like and fun (learning through play). 

• Then, I wrote letters with a sharpie marker. 

• Place your letter magnets next to the tape maze game and your LO can practice matching the letters its correct match. 

Another fun and easy way to go about this is to leave letters out. 

For example, you can write, “A, B, C, _, E, F, _ … 

And you can also work with either uppercase or lowercase letters. 

Using alphabet magnets in this easy activity makes learning fun!

Refrigerator magnets for toddlers 

Here are some ideas of magnetic fridge letters I always recommend and can work for learning through play. 

• Fridge letters (vowels are a different color)

• Flexible/bendable magnet letters

• Letter Magnets that come with Number Magnets too

There are many different kinds of amazing letters you can use that are not only magnetic, but they can be of different textures too: 

• Foam letters

• Wooden letters

• Wool letters 

DIY Number Learning Activity for Kids

As mentioned above you can change this game up a bit to work for other fun matching learning ideas. 

Using number magnets to match to its correct number is also a wonderful way of learning about counting and numbers. 

Creating 5 circles and then matching a number 5 magnet to it is another fun way to learn counting. 

There are shape magnets, colorful magnets, and pom poms that can also work to match onto. 

The possibilities are endless and activities that are simple like this can really go a long way!
