Breanna

I am not sure if this qualifies as a craft project. I have a simple idea. I have a little boy 18 months. He is very active and not interested in sitting down to learn his letters or read. It is important to me to work on his language skills but if it isn't in motion he isn't interested.

I got an idea to take a package of construction paper or card stock and write a large letter on each sheet. I put a picture of an object starting with that letter on the back. I spread them all over the house. As we ran from letter to letter singing the alphabet song, he thought it was a great game. I ended up covering them with clear contact paper to make them last. I am going to use them to make games later on using the same concept but spelling out words.
