The little boys had a blast with a couple of extension activities we saw online.  For starters the ‘sandpaper’ letters are actually felt. I got the felt letter stickers from Walmart in the sign making section (where they have stencils and mailbox stuff).  I laminated index cards and stuck the felt stickers to the cards.

    Aidan knows his alphabet and is reading by now but he enjoyed identifying the letters by touch only.

    Kieran worked on the letter sounds for a bit and then he went on to practice making the letters on the cornmeal tray.
