Sandpaper Letters

I am creating my own Montessori materials for my childcare and I think that sandpaper letters are very important to help with language development. I purchased all the materials at the Dollar Tree. In total it cost me $9.45 not including the glue I already had and I have some materials left over for other projects.

I looked all over Microsoft Word for the correct text to be used, but I didn't find anything I liked. I ended up googling and found this awesome blog that pointed to this site http://www.montessorimaterials.org/lang2.html and used Cursive - Lower Case.

I cutted them out from the pdf and then traced them on the yellow foam sheets. I glued them down using Turbo tacky glue by Aleene's. Vowels on blue and consonants on red.

I really liked how this project turned out and I can't wait to share it with my toddler.
