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?
Leave a comment, I would love some feed back!

Water Density Experiment

                 Water Density Experiment                                                            Homeschooling is such a fun way to learn. There is so much freedom in how far we can take  an experiment or how long we can work on it. The other day my husband started to explain to our kids why oil doesn't mix with water. So today we experimented with water density. There are different versions of this experiment and this is how we did ours.   Things needed : Oil, water, salt, sugar, food coloring, clear glasses or jars,measuring cup. Here's what we did: Step one: Fill three clear jars half way each with warm water. ( Helps the salt and sugar dissolve)  Pour 1/2 cup of salt in the first jar and stir it to mix. Pour 1/2 cup of sugar in the second jar and stir to...

Washing wool locks tricks to try

A couple tricks for washing locks I have some beautiful Finn sheep locks. They were given to me from a very sweet woman. But they need to be washed. I want to try making a weft from them, so I am hoping to keep them intact. I have been experimenting ways to do that. Here are two things I tried.   Please note hat these were experiments, just things I tired and how they worked for me.  First I have this garden netting stuff. I thought about using chicken wire, but its sharp and I didn't want to cut myself. This also has smaller openings. Another advantage to this is that its firm and works like a cage.  So I cut out a piece long enough that if folded in half it fits in my sink. I pressed down on the fold to make it stay better. Then I placed   my locks on one side. After that I folded it over and clipped the sides together. So that it would hold the locks together.  Then I immersed in my very hot soapy water for about 15-20 min. (I hav...

I have been trying for about two months to make cloth diapers for my youngest son Luke.  I drafted my own pattern, that works great, but needed a little tweaking. So i used a pattern that wham supply sent me and combined it with mine. the differences between the two were so little it was comical to me. I think all pocket diaper patterns are basically the same though, differences take place in the tabs and elastic and such. and your pocket opening. I would love to post a tutorial on how I did it to share, but it will have to wait till later this week. for now just pictures of my finished pocket diapers. SO thrilled to finally have done it. And I have to say that i am so thankful that there are so many blogs and tutorials and info out there. and supply store for this. I am becoming a bit obsessed with these things. my original is the one with the extra snaps. I didn't like the tabs though and  thought the sizing could be a little better. I bought my ...
