Perler Bead Alphabet Letters
I can’t take credit for this idea, I saw it on 1+1+1=1, but when I saw it on my Pinterest feed, I knew I had to try and make my own set of Perler bead alphabet letters. I picked up the supplies at Ikea when I was there last weekend, and let me tell you, I had a blast playing with them. I spent the entire afternoon making fun stuff, it felt like I was 10 years old again! It took a bit of time to figure out the correct shapes for the letters, but once I got the hang of it, I was off and running. I can’t wait to…

A Halloween Candy Activity
My school did a local Halloween parade yesterday (so fun!) and I swiped some left over candy (can you believe we had left over candy?!) so that I could show you this fun activity.

Students use glue and the suggested material to fill in each letter outline. I love this because it gives children a concrete example for each letter sound. Instead of drawing a picture, writing a word, or gluing in a magazine clipping, children actually get to handle the object that is associated with the letter sound, giving them a tangible example. I think that this is an awesome…

Sweet Letter practice
Last year my class created our own sandpaper letters and my students were so proud of their alphabet! I wanted to do something similar with this group, so I used some Valentine’s day inspiration to make this alphabet a little sweet. The group I have now is working on lowercase letter recognition, so I wrote all of the lowercase letters on pieces of cardboard. When I presented the activity I showed the children how to use the glue to “trace” the letters. Then I gave them sugar shakers that held a mixture of cocoa powder and baking soda (because cocoa powder is expensive!) and they shook the mixture over the…
