I am also writing a blog that shares my experiences as a homeschool teacher - <a href="http://beyondgoldstars.com" rel="nofollow">Beyond Gold Stars</a>. I think one of the free resources I offer on my blog is something that would really compliment your alphabet box! :) I remember you saying that your son also likes to do worksheets (along with using all these beautiful hand-made manipulatives). <br /><br />On my blog, you can find <a href="http://beyondgoldstars.blogspot.com/2013/07/free-printable-phonics-cards-for.html" rel="nofollow">free printable cards with great pictures to be sorted by initial consonant</a>.Kerridwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426172315229970496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-56415136340738268022013-05-10T22:15:35.292-03:002013-05-10T22:15:35.292-03:00Thank you for sharing this post as well your print...Thank you for sharing this post as well your printable..I've had so much fun making our own alphabet boxes!

And, if anything, it never hurts to review things already learned. <br /><br />James knows both upper and lower case, too and pretty much has the sounds down pat, but he absolutely loves this box and asks for it all the time. I also plan to use it for spelling later on. In Montessori, a child will take out the objects and spell out each one in a little booklet. Of course we’re a ways off from that, but I’ll be sure to post it on my blog when the time comes!<br /><br />Mari-AnnCounting Coconutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417165680507471874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-53788603558754492392010-06-23T07:45:03.033-03:002010-06-23T07:45:03.033-03:00My gosh what an informative post!

However, I've searched several hardware stores (and craft stores) here in England, and I can't find one of those boxes!!! The pouches are cute, but I just don't have the time or materials to do them. I'm also a collector (packrat) and love miniatures, so I would have so much fun doing this if I could only find a box! Going back to the US soon...I wonder if I could fit one in a suitcase...<br />Anyway, I enjoyed this post--great job!
