teach toddler letters through play not flashcards

Honestly? Flashcards drill memory, but play is what makes letters actually stick. As an ex-preschool teacher, I teach letters with a letter-of-the-day hunt, bath-foam squished on the tub wall, crackers shaped into the first letter of their name. They're playing, not drilling, and that's the whole secret. Does your toddler know any letters by sight yet? 👇
