    Some children like to build the letters by following the templates, carefully matching up each building block to the template to ensure that their creation is just like the model.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\"Preschooler\r\n\r\n

    Other children prefer to create their own versions of each letter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\"Preschooler\r\n\r\n

    Your child may enjoy this challenge: say the name of a letter and have your child\u00a0find the corresponding card and build the letter. Or you can work on matching uppercase<\/a> and lowercase<\/a> letters, too. Just show your child a lowercase letter, then have her find the uppercase letter card and build the letter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
