Alphabet Ice Creams - Initial Sounds Match and Sort Letters Phonics

$4.50
Includes:
• 26 cones, each labeled with an upper and lower case letter (full alphabet)
• 3 scoops of ice cream for each letter, with pictures of items that begin with that letter ( scoops). The 3 scoops for any particular letter have the same ice cream flavor/color, to give a clue to early learners.

Some Ideas to Use:
• Small group – use when teaching or reviewing initial letter sounds – use one cone and its scoops to demonstrate, or 2 cones and their scoops to differentiate the letters and sounds, and to sort.
• Center – set out 2 or 3 cones and their scoops to match and sort for beginners, more for later learners.
• Use b/w tracing scoops to practice writing letters; stack above one cone to see how high it can go. Or offer tracing scoops to be added to 3-scoop initial sound cones in a center.

Apples Number Necklaces

$3.00
This is a flexible and fun number activity for early learners, featuring various forms that numbers can take 1-10. It has an APPLES theme.

The forms are: numeral, 10-frame, tally marks, fingers, dice and a set of items. These are grouped together on one page, since they are all pictorial. I have added the number name words on a separate page if you would like to include them in your activity.

Cut out the circled apples, and punch one or two holes at the top of each. String the apples on a piece of yarn. If using one hole, the apples will bunch together, if using two, they will lie flat.

The cut-outs can also be used to glue onto a construction paper headband, or onto a green and brown paper tree – these look great on a bulletin board display.

The activity is offered in both color and b/w.
