Thank You Notes and Spelling with Toys

Thank You Notes and Spelling with Toys
Spelling with Toys is a great way for beginning readers and spellers to make words. Spelling with toys is also great for creative thank you notes!

We used some of B’s toys to take this picture and make it into birthday thank you notes. I got the idea from Family Fun Magazine.  Not only did a lot of people say how neat they were, but B didn’t want to stop spelling with toys after we made this.

So we spelled each family member’s name and took pictures. It was a challenge for him to figure out how to arrange the toys for the curvy letters. I love the learning activities that are unplanned and just happen!

My middle son was easy... we did the background music/singing to "BINGO"... but we spelled "Tyler"... while clapping our hands to each letter... T.. Y.. L... E... R... and Tyler was his Name-o

really great idea! I'm not sure we have enough little toys -- maybe Polly Pockets.
