Whatever curriculum you are using to practice writing letters with your young children, my 4-year-old Maggie and I have found a way to make writing letters fun and happy.
Our children tire of the hard work of writing letters after a while. Maggie loves it because as she begins to write each letter, I say in a high-pitched silly voice, "Draw me, please?" As if the letter is talking. Little girls especially love this game of turning things into people. Sometimes if her letter turns out too small she'll say that letter is a baby one and the mother will say, "Draw me please?" and she writes a bigger one. She laughs and delights in this. I've gotten her to write an entire page of letters this way, adding members to the family.
