Lil’ Fingers offers stories, games, and activities designed for the smallest of children using large buttons (for little fingers), animation, bright colors, and short stories. The site claims the activities are for toddlers, but many are useful to 5-7 year olds and beyond. Read and listen to stories about colors, opposites, and holidays. Pause buttons offer freedom for discussion or replay while reading. Learn about letters, animals, and spelling while playing in the fun and games section of the site. Don’t miss the video section that includes a 30 to 45 second video for each letter of the alphabet. Many activities are holiday-related for easy incorporation into classroom activities.
In the Classroom
Show one of the letter videos on your interactive whiteboard (or projector) when teaching letter sounds and formation. Create a link to the site on classroom computers for use as a learning center or allow students to play games on your interactive whiteboard as a center activity. Share this site with parents through your classroom website or newsletter as a resource for alphabet and color practice at home.
