Pour some flour into a mixing bowl, and bury your items in the flour. Cover them up well, so your child will not see.
Give your child a slotted spoon to dig with. When they dig an item out of the flour, have them say the name of the item and decide whether or not it begins with the letter of the day. Have them put all the items that begin with the designated letter in one bowl, and all others into another bowl.
We chose the letter C and used the following items:
Clip
Chapstick,
Crayon
Candle
Cracker
Raisins,
Button,
Pretzel
and others
Every kid loves to dig! Miss Tia had a great time with this one.

My girls got a kick out of the ballet show I put on for them. Make a whole family of them and put on a puppet show.
