Felt Flash cards

Alphabet Flash cards

   

I decided to make a flash card matching game.

 My little guys are 6,4,3, and 6 months. So it is perfect, plus they are a lot more durable then those paper flash cards and match games. Since I know the baby will end up trying to eat a few! hahaha

So here is how we play, its just the same old basic games

first lay the fabric cards face down.

 Big A little a

That is right, find the little letter that matches the big letter.

Easy right. Then we play beginning sounds.A is for apple.

Or B is for bee...
  This is how I made them.
   Step one is to gather your felt or whatever fabric your going to use. I used felt because it is cheap and thick, it kind of holds it shape. It is also super easy to work with.
   Step two is to cut out your squares.
             

You will need two squares per card.
Step three is to cut out your letters or picture pieces.
 Step four is to sew them on one of the card pieces.

The you will sew your second card piece onto the first one. like so...

I used my Serger. Using felt I could have just used a straight stitch because it doesn't fray. But I wanted the white boarder. I love these and making the pictures was totally fun! So be creative and make some of your own!

Question: Do you use flash cards, or matching games when teaching your kids the alphabet?
