Make your own ABC PUZZLE


We have had so much playing with these I thought I would share the idea, in case any other little ones might like it too.
Jay is really into puzzles and letters so these have been great (and cheap!) toys :)

Supplies: thin cardboard (cereal boxes work great), permanent markers, "scrapbook-type" scissors.


1- cut strips of cardboard (ours were 2" tall)
2- Cut those up into pieces (ours were 2"x2.5")
3-Using a variety of scrapbook scissors (you know, the kinds with the fancy edges) cut down the middle of each piece.

4- Write the uppercase of the letter on one side and the matching lowercase letter on the other side.
{Little Project Tip:} I wrote all of the vowels with the same color of marker so we could talk about them and the sounds they make.

5-Ideas for how to Play with your ABC PUZZLE:
* Play a matching game: upper and lowercase to form the puzzles for each letter

* Memory game: turn them over and try to find the right matches-(the back of the cereal box may give them away. You can cover that or use blank cardboard.)

* Find things around things around the house that start with that letter


* Use the letters to spell words and/or sentences.


Have fun with this Little ABC puzzle Project!

I LOVE this idea. We need to start working on lower case letters and this is a GREAT alternative to those pricey puzzles.
Thanks

Oh this is terrific!! Such a great idea for matching up the "mama" letters to the "baby" letters. My youngest daughter can site letters but she has a bit of difficulty with a few of the lower case letters mainly i, l, b, d, and q. Thank you so much for this idea!

8 ball no pain Overdose is also another danger of cocaine. Oftentimes, a cocaine overdose occurs in first-time users who don’t know how much to take or chronic users who have a high tolerance to the drug. Tolerance refers to how accustomed the body is to a certain drug. The higher the tolerance, the higher the dose a person would have to take to experience the same side effects. Moreover, cocaine’s cutting agents often include anything from household chemicals to paint thinner, which can increase the risk of experiencing health complications and overdose.

alcohol is classified as a drug. It is classified as a Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant, which means that drinking alcohol slows down brain functioning, neural activity, and further reduces the functioning of various vital functions in the body.
