Dinosaur Alphabet Match Up
Dinosaur Alphabet Match Up
What I used:
I purchased Clipart from Jessica Sawyer Designs here.
wooden discs
mod podge
white cardstock
sharpies
printer paper
paint marker
How to make dinosaur alphabet disc:
I did the best I could with the clipart to make letters on the dinosaur clipart. Since I had to re-size to fit the disc the letters became hard to see. This is why I used a paint pen to trace the letters on the disc.
Take print-outs of dinosaur letters and cut or punch (I used scrapbook scissors) out. Then take each one and glue it to the disc. Trace with paint pen or other. Then last spray with sealer.
Once all this was done, I drew the capital letters on the back of the discs with sharpie markers. I wanted to be sure the kids could identify the hard to see letters on the disc. If they were not sure they could flip it over to make sure. Even though these Dinosaur Alphabet Discs did not turn out as I envisioned, they still did the trick.
Now to begin. Let the kids have the discs and the play mat. Have them match up the Capital or Uppercase letter to the Lowercase letters.
The play mat or board was also a second choice for this activity but my kids just loved it and had no clue I had other plans to start. I was talking with my mom about being disappointed that it did not go as planned and she reminded me that things are not always as we hoped they would be but it does not mean they are not still great. Love her!
So excited to start and happy he got his first match up correct and in record speed.

Very cool idea! The graphics are also very cute 🙂
