While we were making our first autumn craft of the year on Monday we also added to the sensory alphabet we’re working on. Once she’d satisfied her need to do some sticking, L made some leaf rubbings using wax crayons. We cut them out and used them as the background for our ‘l is for leaf’ picture.

Crafting with children is such a good way to help them develop important skills: picking out all the autumn colours from the crayon pot works on classification skills, important for maths and literacy, and using scissors to cut out leaves works on fine motor skills.
We also made a ‘h is for hole’ a while ago – turns out a hole-punch is fascinating when you’re 4! Here’s how out alphabet is coming along.
My guide to ABCs and 123s
Do you have a young child who is learning their ABCs and 123s, and do you want to make their learning fun? Our ABCs and 123s resource of mulitsensory, play-based letter and math activities is just what you need. See more here.
The charts look lovely, I like especially l is for leaf:)
Thanks Maria.
Lovely idea – think we will definitely be doing something similar – thanks
Hope you have fun making yours Speegetti.
I love this idea. I actually did this with my kindergarten kids when I was teaching in Thailand and we had so much fun making a letter a week-Wish I would have taken photos of things we did along the way though! Anyways, I can’t wait to try these out with K when the time is right. I’ve featured you today on Tot Tuesdays. Have a super week!
Hi Jenn, Thanks for the feature. Yay!
I like this because:our daughter is Blind and she can feel this project too. Thanks again . Mrs.Lisa griffin (MOM).
