ALPHABET BOOKLET:
NOTE: This can be a nice personal book if you use photos or photocopies of photos of friends and family members.
Materials: Crayons and markers, coloured paper, child-safe scissors, glue stick, old magazines to cut out, old photographs for friends and family, damp cloth for sticky fingers, stapler.
Step 1: Fold the paper in half and form a book by stapling them together.

Step 3: If you are using old photographs (or photocopies of pictures) cut them to fit and let your child glue them to the appropriate letter page.
Step 4: Search through magazines together to find things that start with each letter.
