Letter RecognitionAlphabet Stickers
I hung the alphabet around the room in no particular order. I gave each kid a blue or purple sticker. They would sticker the letter of their first name with their blue sticker and use the purple sticker for the letter of their last name.

Storytime Craft: I saw several versions of this craft on the internet. For the crayons, I labeled the top of the crayon with the letters of my name and the bottom of the crayon with numbers. I also mentioned to the patrons they could label the crayon with its color.
