I spotted these alphabet cookies at Trader Joe’s last week and just knew that they’d make for a great Tot School Tuesday activity! Logan had a blast matching the cookie letters to the letter printout, with a few snack breaks and letter replacements in between. After showing him how to do it once, this turned into a solo play activity that he did over all morning. Don’t you just love when that happens? Thank you Trader Joe’s!

Activity: Alphabet Cookie Matching
(learning objective: identifying letters & sounds, matching)
Materials
Trader Joe’s Alphabet Cookies
Printer
Instructions
Pick out each letter of the alphabet A-Z in cookies or have your child help with this. Print out the letters on two sheets, I used Franklin Gothic Heavy font at 160 font. Have your child match the cookie letters to the alphabet on the sheet, identifying letters and sounds as they go.

That’s a really cute idea! I think I will have to make a trip to Trader Joe’s!
Thanks Samantha! Logan had fun with it 🙂
How super fun! Ryan would love this. The alphabet & cookies? Yeah, he’d be in heaven!
Ah if only there was a Trader Joe’s in the UK!!
We’ve had fun with alphabet crackers, too! With my oldest, we did a little “Eat Your Sight Words” activity– you can be sure he enjoyed that! : )
