Alphabet Printables/Workbox Ideas





I got these wonderful printables from another homeschooling site. I fell in love with them once I saw them. There is ABC puzzles, practice cards, 3 letter words for each letter, ASL cards, constant cards, short and long vowel cards, dot to dot cards, phonetic cards, print and cursive puzzles, playdough mats, coloring pages, cut and paste sheets, and links to other great inspirational sites.

My 2 yr old loves these. He has learned half of his alphabet bot upper and lower case letters. He has learned to show readiness in writing with the prewriting cards with the practice letter cards, he has learned to match, sign, and at the same time. HE IS HAVING FUN. ( I dont push the learning on him, he wants to learn with his brother, now to just get potty trained and we will be set).

PRINTABLE UPPER & LOWER CASE ABC BIPLANE BANNER


This find has been so wonderful. My 2 yr old son just loves it. He has sat down and just started to call out the letters while pointing to them.

You can print them out in black and white.

Color them

I laminated them for duability.

Punched holes in each end of the banner sections except for the last one.
I also punched a hole in the end of the plane.

Then I used fasteners to connect each section.

and Presto!

You have a wonderful ABC plane that can be printed in both the uppercase and the lowercase letters


Here is what I did to mine. I colored it before I laminated, then I added fasteners to give it some movememt.
