I have been tossing the story sack idea around a bit more, and have decided that when the new school year starts in September I am going to try putting together alphabet bags for Little Cherub. I'm not in the least bothered whether she learns her letters this early, but she is at a stage where she loves any sort of activities she can do with me and I think this will give enough structure to keep me on track and motivated ... and she is showing enough interest in letters that I think it will appeal to her.
I love the idea of using the Serendipity Alphabet Path stories with her as a framework, and think this would tie in well with putting together a bag based on each letter of the alphabet. I brainstormed the first few letters and I'm sure it would be easy to come up with enough to keep her busy for a week or more. This is what I thought of putting in for the letter "A":
- A copy of the Alphabet Path story Meet Mrs Applebee
- Angelina Ballerina (Katherine Holabird)
- Alfie and Annie Rose (Shirley Hughes)
- Angels, Angels Everywhere (Tomie de Paola)
- The Apple Trees (Vivien French)
- How to Make an Apple Pie and See The World (Marjorie Priceman)
- Pictures (printed and laminated) ... St. Anne, Guardian Angel (with prayer), Apples by Cezanne
- CD of Appley-Dappley's Nursery Rhymes (Beatrix Potter) - I have this as part of a Beatrix Potter CD collection
- Objects beginning with "A" ... apple, aeroplane, angel, ant
- Colouring pages of things beginning with "A"
- Angelina Ballerina DVD
- Recipe for apple pie
- Letter "A" pastry cutter
- Letter "A" rubber stamp
- Angel beanie baby
- An "A" related game - I'm very tempted by this Angelina Ballerina UNO game

How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World is still one of our favorites and my DD is almost 12! We read it in K when we were doing Five in a Row and it made such an impression. (sometimes I miss those days!)
I hope your little one enjoys it just as much!
