Some of the most fundamental learning our kids do early on has to do with learning letters and numbers, building the foundation for reading, spelling and math. And like most early learning, the best way to teach kids these early skills is through play, incorporating learning into everyday activities that are fun for both of you.
The excellent ebook ABCs and 123s includes more than 40 tested activities that kids love that will help build their skills with letters and numbers. (I’m one of the contributors; links are affiliate links.)

Some of the activities include a sensory bin for helping children learn their name, letter lacing cards, number rubbing cards, playdough number flowers and a drawing game using dice (that one’s mine).
