WORKSHEET & Sample PDF Activity
Sample PDF Activity
- Use Bolder Borders® to make alphabet and color flash cards. Cut each letter and color apart to make individual flash cards.
- Use the alphabet cards to learn the letters and ABC order. Name things that begin with each letter sound.
- Use the color cards to learn colors. Add words to the back of each card to name items that are the particular color.
- Cut the Terrific Trimmers® to create different-sized pieces. Each trimmer can be cut in different lengths so that there are a larger variety of options. Use the number trimmers to order numbers from smallest to largest. Create number sequences or equations with the numerals on each piece.
