At-Home Activity Suggestion: Dry Erase the Alphabet / Shapes

You can use a dry erase marker (not the other kind!) to draw letters and shapes on your sliding glass door and have your toddler erase them to help with letter and shape recognition! Just call out the name of the letter or shape and have them wipe it off with a paper towel or Kleenex.
