I decided that it would be a lot of fun to make my own and turn it into a little alphabet book for my 23 month old son Benjamin. (You can see all of the photos HERE) I think the theory is to find and take pictures of things that look like each letter. However, I wanted to make sure that the letters were obvious enough for my son to be able to recognize them and I wanted to only use objects from around the house, most of which he would recognize. So for some of the letters I did things like arrange blueberries on a plate or crayons on the table. I also tried to not repeat any subjects.
(He bumped his head a couple days ago which is why his forehead is still a little bruised and swollen. The bruise even spread a little bit to his eye, poor guy.)
Great idea! It would be fun for older children to go on a scavenger hunt for all the letters then make a book.

Oooh, I love this idea for my grandson:) Is there anyway you could share all of your letters so we could upload them and get them printed out as 4×6's? Thank you sooo very much:)
Thanks for all of the sweet comments. I just posted all of the pictures I used in the book.
