A Felt Alphabet is good for letter recognition games, or sew together in a long ‘train’ that can be hung up and displayed in your child’s room, or homeschool space. You can also keep them all in a basket to spell out words.
An Embroidery Alphabet Quilt can be made by sewing together each lowercase letter, to create a memory quilt you can hang, or keep. Have fun with these additional craft ideas, and allow your imagination to run wild! If you have older siblings that would like to help with this, that is wonderful.
