Creative Ideas for St. Patrick's Day Letter Tile Spelling Mat:
- Sensory Bin: Hide the letter tiles needed for the St. Patrick's Day words in green colored rice, gold coins, shredded green paper, or any other sensory bin materials and have the kids search for the letters before they spell. This will make it a great sensory experience.
- Mystery Grab Bag: Place the letter tiles in a bag or another St. Patrick's Day themed container. Let the kids place their hands in the bag and pull out a letter and place it on the spelling mat. Don't peek!
- Scoop & Spell: Place the letter tiles in a bowl. Let the kids use a spoon or fine motor play scoop to scoop out the letter and place it on the spelling mat.
- Tweezer Tiles: Place the letter tiles in a bowl. Let the kids use some child-sized fine motor tweezers to pinch the letter tile and place it on the mat.
- Stamping Words: Use alphabet stamps to stamp the letters on the blank pages.
Which Letter Tiles Should I Use?
These letter tile printable pages were designed specifically for the the Eureka Tub of Letter Tiles because it was the product in my own personal cabinets. They are 1-inch x 1-inch square tiles. If you can't find those specific letter tiles, you can also use other brands, but know that the size may be slightly different.
Note: Sometimes the Eureka Tub of Letter Tiles goes out of stock on Amazon and this hand2mind set of letter tiles look like a good alternative choice if you can't find another retailer to purchase the Eureka letter tiles.
