DIY Alphabet Matching Game

My 3 year old,  J, has been really interested in letters lately, so I’ve been trying to find new ways of playing with letters.  I ran across a great matching game from A Beautiful Ruckus, and I knew I had to make something similar for J.

DIY Alphabet Matching Game

I already had all the materials I needed, and it took no time at all to put it together.  I used:

  • 3 sheets of blue foam
  • Orange foam letter stickers
  • Scissors

I cut the blue foam into 52 squares.

And then added two of each letter of the alphabet to the foam squares to make a pair.

And that’s it.

Using 52 letters for a matching game is a bit much for J at this age, so I only gave him 7 pairs to play with.

I laid them all out in a grid and J found matches of the letters.

Of course, he was very happy when he found the J’s

I love that we have a complete set of alphabet matching cards that can be used over the years.

    That’s so cute that he is into that! My 2 year old sees me teaching my 4 year old and is always so excited to come and “learn” as well!
    Really cute cards!

    These look super cute and easy. I have been making all sorts of alphabet manipulatives for my 3 yr. old. Thanks for sharing!
