Originally published on April 2, 2013, but republished today because it totally rocks.

Kids need to learn the letters of the alphabet.

And even if we play with the letters for ten minutes a day, it adds up–and before we know it, our kids will be ready for success in reading and in  school.alphabet egg hunt springtime literacy fun teachmama.com.png

It’s a perfect time of the year to throw in some sneaky before-nap or after naptime learning for our little ones, and though I know finding time can often be difficult, here’s an easy one for you: Alphabet Egg Hunt.

Kids are already ramped up for Easter egg hunts, so why not have one in your house while you wait for the real one in a few weeks?

This one will get kids up and moving and grooving. And the best thing? They’ll be playing with uppercase and lowercase letters.

Here’s the skinny. . .

Alphabet Egg Hunt–Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Match:

This is really a re-vamp of a post I shared a long, long time ago: Alphabet Egg Puzzles.

But as I reviewed it, I realized I (gulp) didn’t do it nearly as well as it could have been done.

Sure, the directions and explanation and story behind it works–that kind of stuff will last forever.

But the printables? Not so much.

The photos? Not so great.

The eggs themselves? For real, super tiny.

So we did a little behind-the-scenes work and recreated the Alphabet Egg Hunt template, and the new one? Totally rocks.

Here it is for you to print out: simply sign up below:

I printed it on light colored cardstock so they’d hold up a bit, and that way they’re easier for little hands to manage.

Like all of our learning games and supplies, I threw the eggs in a plastic bag so it’s a game we can grab on the go, anywhere, any time.

We have some more super-fun matching game ideas up our sleeves in the next few days. Cora, especially, is psyched to do some pattern-making on eggs for her little cousins.

And really, her excitement about creating learning materials and teaching her cousins makes my heart sing. Cannot wait to share!

SPOILER ALERT: Valentine care packages for college kids ❤️💜💙

Sneaky moms gathered tonight over wine and snacks —each bringing a bunch of fun and Valentinesy things. Our creative and crafty hostess had picked up flat rate mailing boxes, tissue paper, stickers, gave us instructions, and let us gooooo! 

How cute are these!?! Thanking God for my village tonight. Sure couldn’t go this college road alone!

Even if you have younger kids, take them to your local high school sporting events! 

There are so many reasons to take them, and it is bound to be a really fun night (or afternoon!). 

My three reasons are here —>

This makes me SO SAD, @washingtonpost !! 

We can’t dedicate ONE PAGE to our younger readers? 

My children and students LOVED the KidsPost. Thousands and thousands of folks in the DC Area and around the world loved it. Loved it. 

I do not understand this move. AT ALL.
