M is one of the first sounds many babies make, as in mama, so it often feels familiar to young children. Hum mmm together and feel your lips buzz. Monkeys are brown, mice are gray or white, and the moon can be colored pale yellow or silver gray. M also fits Mother's Day cards in May.
Lowercase m has two humps, while lowercase n has one. Color the humps of m in two different colors and count them, then compare with n. Seeing the extra hump helps kids keep the two letters apart.
