Adding literacy to a toddler’s day can be so very simple. You have books, of course. And perhaps some alphabet blocks and toys. There’s another super easy activity you can put together in minutes, and that’s a toddler ABC sensory table.
We love sensory tables (or bins, as we also call them) because they invite the toddler to explore using the 5 senses. In this toddler ABC sensory table, there is a lot of touching as the foam letters are touched and transported. There are different colors to identify and sort. It’s a great way to expose them to lines and curves, too!
Toddler ABC Sensory Table
What you will need:
- Sensory table or a bin that can go on a table or floor
- Foam letters
- Containers and scoops
Setting it up:
Pour the foam numbers into the bin and add the scoops and containers. It’s that easy!
Toddlers will enjoy scooping the letters into the containers, or just using their hands.

Awesome! I always love your ideas. Letter sensory bins are the best!
Thank you so much, Sarah!
There’s always so many options with letters! Great educational tool! Keep up the awesome activities!
Thank you Stephanie! 🙂
I love the free exploration of this activity. We have these foam letters and my boys love to play with them. One of their favorite things to do is to bury them in dry oatmeal and dig them out with their construction vehicles. Thank you for encouraging play with letters!
I love that idea with the oatmeal and construction vehicles. I need to remember that one! We had magnetic letters and construction vehicles in our block area last week. I love mixing literacy in different areas of the room!
This looks so fun! I love all the learning opportunities too. Thanks for sharing. Pinned.
Thank you, Heather!
This looks like such a fun way to explore letters! (Wow, look at all those foam letters – maybe they do multiply! lol!)
Truly, I have no idea how we ended up with so many letters! 🙂
