Pin It
These little books were an idea that came to me a long time ago. My kiddos were barely starting to trace letters; they’re 8 and 10 now. Badge books were big then…business card little scrapbook pages that were slipped into plastic badge holders and tied together with ribbon. I had made some for family and friends, one that was even in Scrapbooks, Etc. magazine {I’ll have to find a photo}. One day someone, somewhere said something about them and it sparked an idea. Those little plastic holders were almost like lamination…I bet those write-on/wipe-off crayons would work on them. They do and so do wet erase markers. And they can be attached to the binder rings with a little ribbon so they don’t get lost. The little ABC book was born! Since then, we wore a few of them out and we’ve shared them with friends. I even had a friend comment on a Pin of these that her kids loved them.
I decided last week to offer them in the Etsy shop. It’s a 7 page pdf file with all 26 letters in both upper and lower case. I also included a cover page card, 2 blank cards, and 13 sight word cards to practice. It’s easy to make…plastic badge holders and binder rings can both be found at Walmart in the office supplies or any office supply store…and it’s a great size to stick in your purse or the car to keep little ones busy. We used ours a lot riding in the shopping cart at the grocery store and at baseball practice for big brother. I used them in my preschool classroom, too. And if you wear it out or mess it up…just print another one!
These books make really cute gifts, too, for little friends. If you’re interested in looking, you can find the book here in the shop.
Hi! I am wondering if this book is still available. I am interested in purchasing it and saw this being passed around on pinterest. Thank you! This looks great! – Hollee at holleenotes@hotmail.com.
