C is for Chalk
Draw 26 lily pads on your driveway or sidewalk (left). Put the letters of the alphabet inside them, randomly. Now let your little "frogs" have fun, hopping around, spelling their names or simple words whose letters you supply. Frogs may either learn to make large leaps, or they may carry a piece of chalk with them to add lily pads and letters. This (you'll see) develops an early appreciation for A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y.
D is for Delicious
Make your favorite pancake batter, then funnel it into a squeeze bottle (available at supermarkets in the plastic-container section, or use a clean water or ketchup bottle with a squirt top). Write the letters of your children's names on the hot griddle. (Write them backward, if you can; their face-down side is usually better.) Flip 'cakes as they bubble. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
