  2. Spin the “Moon” and when it stops, the child feels/or reads the initial letter sign on the textured rocket man that stops in front of them.
  3. From the silver suited set of rocket men, the child locates the one with the matching initial letter sound.
  • The activity could be played by the child on their own, or along with other friends.
