4-5-09 Nail Board and Alphabet poster

(posted 8/20/09) My dear friend gave us a couple of 'tools' that she had left over from her teaching days and we promptly put them to use. These are just a ton of fun and so many things you can do with the ABC poster. I'd love to hear other ideas you would use this poster for - please comment!



Rubber band shapes on the nail board - great for fine motor development and shape/color recognition. He's grasping the concept you can use shapes to create other things - like a house, or two squares can make a rectangle or two triangles can make a square, etc. This board comes out about once every two weeks. Then, I spend the next couple of days chasing rogue rubber bands...
