Using wooden letters in sensory play can turn learning the alphabet into a hands-on and engaging experience, fostering a love for letters and language in young children.

Here are some benefits of using letters in sensory play:

1. Wooden letters have a natural texture that allows children to feel and explore the shapes of each letter with their hands, enhancing their tactile sensory experience.
2. Manipulating and handling the wooden letters helps develop fine motor skills as children pick up, sort, and arrange the letters during play.
   
3. Wooden letters can spark creativity as children experiment with different letter combinations, forming words and creating their stories during play.

Ideas for play: 

1. Fill a sensory bin with a base like rice or chickpeas and hide wooden letters within. Children can dig and search for letters, identifying and matching them to their corresponding sounds or objects.
2. Flatten playdough on a tray or table and press wooden letters into the dough. Children can then form words or simply explore the shapes of the letters as they imprint into the playdough.
