Bottle Top Letters

I finally made the bottle top names that has been on my to do list awhile. I first saw the idea here and then I saw this tutorial and thought it would be a fun way for Ellie to learn to spell our names. I made one of mom, dad, Emily and I am working on doing some extended family names like Nana. I also did Ellie's full name because she is still learning to spell her middle and last name. I used Publisher to make the picture name cards and letters and then I modge podged them onto the water bottle tops (thanks Aunt Rhonda for saving these). Ellie and eventually Emily can use the caps to place over the names and they can use a dry erase marker to copy over the letters because of course I laminated them:) While I was at it I laminated these My Name Is strips that came from the $ section at Target. I plan on putting the strips on Ellie's desk when we do preschool and have her start each lesson by writing her name.

Cute idea!

Thanks for coming by the homeschool blog. I am glad my reasons for homeschooling can be some encouragement to you as well.

Sometimes it is hard to remember the reasons for our choice when we lose strength (or sleep...) and the motivation to follow God's calling! I wrote it out for me as well :)
