# How can I teach my 2-year-old to recognize the letters in their name?

**By YongJia Hu** · 2026-04-09

Hey there! Teaching a 2-year-old their [name letters](https://woodemon.com/collections/name-puzzles) can be super fun and hands-on. One of the easiest ways is to use a **Woodemon name puzzle** — each letter is a chunky piece they can touch, pick up, and place back. Kids this age learn through play, so matching the letters in order (especially the first one!) feels like a game. Just say the letters out loud as they play, like “Look, that’s your ‘A’!” Keep it short, repeat often, and let them explore. Works like a charm 😊
