Name crafts are the perfect way to teach young children name recognition and help them develop their fine motor skills! As your little one arranges the letters of their names onto the apple shape, they’re also practicing letter identification and literacy skills.

This idea is also a great opportunity for them to work on hand-eye coordination as they carefully place each letter in its designated spot!
