My preschooler loves learning his letters and gets so happy when he really knows a new one. Â The next step after letter recognition is knowing the sounds of the letters. I wanted to help him with that skill and made a little Peekaboo ABC game to play with him.
How to Make the Peekaboo ABC Game:
To make the Peekaboo ABC game, I used Hershey’s pudding cups (by Kraft Foods) that were eaten and washed out. You could easily do this with any cup though!
Then I spray painted them and let them dry overnight.
Once they were dry, I used colored letter stickers on the top of the pudding cups. Â We found little objects around the house that started with each of the letters we have on our cups. The objects need to be small enough to fit under the cups. Â If you can’t find anything you could always print out some small pictures of things to place under the cup as well.
I have a set of little foam dice that I found at the dollar store. I used smaller letter stickers and labeled the 6 sides of the die with corresponding letters. Â Then we rolled the die and found the matching letter. They can then peek under that cup to see what surprise is hidden. Â Say the letter and sound of the letter together to practice it.
Variations on the Peekaboo ABC Game:
- This is a fun game for preschoolers who are learning their letters, but my toddler loved playing with it as well. She just loved to play peekaboo with the cups!
- I am thinking it could also be a math game. Put multiplication facts on the cup and have the answers hidden.
- Another idea- paint the cups different colors and make it into a color sorting game!

Girl, I love this idea. I will be trying this. I would probably just paint plastic cups. 🙂 Thank you for inspiring and sharing…..
This is gives the inspiration needed to use new ways to learn. Thank you.
Hi! I am new to your blog. Thank you so much for sharing these ideas! I have recently decided to homeschool my 4 year old boy and felt quite overwhelmed with the many resources out there available. I am LDS as well so I am happy to have found your blog.
