I saw these great ideas to help with literacy. You could "feed the trash cans/ monster all sorts of things: ABC cards, magnet letters, colors, shapes, etc. To go to these awesome blogs, with even more incredible ideas, click on the pics. On the Dr. jean and Friends website is this darling song:
(Sung to the tune Tiny Tim)
I have a hungry friend.
His name is Mr. Munch
And what he likes to do all day is gobble up his lunch.
He likes the letter ___ (for example H)
And things that start with ___(make /h/ sound)
And he is very happy when he goes munch, munch, munch, crunch.
