I made this little alphabet tracing book for my toddler to help her with tracing and working on her fine motor skills. Using a dry erase marker she follows the lines. Each time she "practices" her writing she gets a little better. To clean up the alphabet book and make it ready for the next time we use a wet washcloth or a baby wipe.
I purchased the colorful paper (no cutting needed as it is already this size) from the Dollar Tree in the school/office supply section. I also purchased the letter/writing paper at the Dollar Tree which I used to write the upper case and lower case letters onto using a permanent sharpie marker. I then cut the writing paper into a smaller size and glued it into the center of the colored paper.
Next I laminated it all! I love my laminator! As a mom to a toddler and a in-home daycare provider I use my laminator way more than I ever imagined I would! Did I mention I love my laminator? I bought it from Walmart for around $30 and the sheets I buy in the big pack as I use them often.To me it's been a great investment!
After I laminated the cards, I hole punched them and added these little rings through the hole punches. I found the rings in the school/office supply section at Walmart.
Don't forget about the 123's! I also included numbers 0-9 for her to trace!
Here is another little tip....I hot glued little pompoms onto the end of the caps of the dry erase markers so she can erase if she wants!
Another thing I love about this book is it is small enough to fit in my purse to take with us for something for her to do in the car, at a restaurant, or while waiting at the doctor's office!
