[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here -- Your child does not need to know their ABCs/123s at this age. Of course it would be wonderful if he does and you can continue to work with him on these things (in a playful manner) but I wouldn't be worried about it. It is not uncommon for children at this age to know some of their colors, however. I would primarily be working on his speech delay, if I were the mother.

Though I don't think it's necessary to push the ABCs too hard at this age you did ask for different activities so I will give you some. Here are some activities that I have saved to one of my interest boards:

Here is a link to a color matching memory game -- your child may be too young to work on the memory aspect but you can get those colored disney paint samples from Lowes or Home Depot and they are good for working on colors  http://pinterest.com/pin/199636195953321183/

This website has a coloring page for each letter of the alphabet -- http://pinterest.com/pin/199636195952608258/

In this activity your child matches the color of the pipe cleaner with the color of the hole to put it in (put the blue pipe cleaner in the blue hole, etc.) http://pinterest.com/pin/199636195952602704/
