I saw this cool idea for teaching letter recognition and was keen to have a go with the girls. You write the letters of the alphabet on some card or paper and cut and paste letters from magazines over the letters. For Faith I just did capital letters as that is what she recognises best so far. Bethany has been confusing a few of her upper and lower case letters lately so I did both for her. I just wrote the letters on some cardboard from an old beer box.

when my home schooler was little I made some cards out of cardboard and glued different things to them in the shape of the letters. For instance we used fur, leather, sticks, plastic etc etc in the shape of each of the letters. This gave a tactile experience to this learning

My kids loved this. My 5 y/o did her alphabet, and for the younger ones i wrote their name and they found those letters.
