Learning with Plastic Lids
Plastic Lids are a Great Learning Tool!
Whether you notice it or not, most of our households consume lots of things with plastic lids. Those lids add up! Hang on to them and consider using them for some of these fun, interactive lessons!
Alphabet and Letter Recognition
Write lowercase letters on each cap and have your little one line up the lids in alphabetical order. Try playing with color - vowels in one color, consonants in another.Take this one step further by writing uppercase letters on the lid's corresponding bottles or pouches. Have your little one match the upper and lowercase letters.
Counting and Number Recognition
Create number cards with whatever you have laying around the house. Place number cards down and have your child stack (or pile) lids behind the card.
Pattern and Color Recognition
See the cards linked below for patterns your child can replicate using colored lids.
