Alternative to Montessori Sandpaper Letters

Younger toad is interested in learning his letters.  If I had invested in a nice set of sandpaper alphabet letters for older toad we would of course be reusing them.  So without those, we're doing this cheap little alternative.  I bought a set of felt sticky letters.



Younger toad then sticks them to paper cards.  We talk about the letter on the card as he puts it on.  He traces it with his finger and says the letter.

We get them back out to do letter activities on other days.  Here's a 'B' basket.  He traces the letter, names all the items and we talk about how they all start with the letter 'B'.

Beautiful!
