Fun Project

My girls have not had school the last couple of days because it is parent/teacher conferences at their school. With our free time we started a little project that turned out to be a lot of fun for us all. Ava, who just started kindergarten, is absolutely obsessed with letters and letter sounds. While we were sitting in the hot tub she noticed that the life preserver was the shape of an "O," as was the round window above the pool room. We started looking for other letters that we could see in every day objects. With the help of both my daughters, several neighborhood children, and a few random adults, we found almost every letter in the alphabet.

I have been having fun turing all of our "finds" into name plaques. I am thinking that these will be wonderful, personalized, Christmas gifts!! If you are interested in purchasing a custom name plaque please email me for more information.

This is the first one I made. One of Brook's friends (Taya) is having a birthday party this weekend, and this will be the cover of a photo album we purchased as her gift:


Brook wants a large, poster-size print for her bedroom. This will be printed as a 16x20, framed, and hung on her wall:


The last one is for MY family. I am not sure exactly where I will put it, but I am thinking about having it printed and matted so it will be free standing. I can then either hang it on the wall as is, or lean it on a mantel or shelf.
