Mini Alphabet Popsicles

The Mini Alphabet Popsicles are a creative and engaging way to introduce children aged 3+ years to the alphabet. This set includes 26 colourful popsicles, each displaying an uppercase letter on the outside. As children pop off the œcoating of each popsicle, they are rewarded with a fun illustrated vocabulary word underneath. This hidden surprise reinforces letter recognition and phonics, while also building vocabulary as children learn new words. The activity promotes fine motor skills as children handle and manipulate the popsicles. The set includes a clear storage jar for easy organisation, ensuring that the fun can continue day after day.

Educational Benefits:

• Letter Recognition: Helps children recognise uppercase letters through fun, interactive play.
• Phonemic Awareness: Reveals a vocabulary word underneath each popsicle, encouraging children to connect letters with sounds.
