The letter C – collage cum word-pic matching game

I finally stuck the velcro onto the pieces yesterday and here’s how the collage looks like upon completion… all ready for my little one!:

*Hop over to Simply Mommie’s Precious Handmades to view this learning aid and other interesting learning aids! :)*

My cutie-pie fiddling with the components of the collage last night:

Anyway, she seems to love some of the pictures… I have been unable to find where she hid the pic of the cherries… she was so in love with it last night and kept bringing it around with her… now I can’t find it! Sigh. Anyway, other pictures she loves are the cookies (she pretends to munch on them), the car (she goes “嘟嘟“) and the comb (she pretends to comb her hair with it).

The criteria for the choice of words that make up this collage:

(i) common everyday words that begin with the letter C

(ii) includes all the different sounds of the letter C (/k/ as in caterpillar, /s/ as in cymbals, /tʃ/ as in cherries).

C for Clown!

Here’s what I made for Alicia for the teaching of the letter C:

You can obtain the template from here. What I did was to print out the coloured template, cut out the shapes then laminate them. Next, attach the main body of the clown to the toilet paper roll using scotch tape and the attach the rest of the pieces together using velcro so that Alicia can put the clown together (and of coz, take it apart). The final touches: draw the upper and lower case of the letter C on the stickers and stick it onto the body of the clown. Done! 😀

Here’s my darling playing with it:
