Search for Alphabets

Joel, Matthew, and Bethie are making alphabet books - partly for school, and partly for Cubbies. I'm a great supporter for making one assignment cover the basics of 2 or more needs. So I've been searching the internet for some pictures to use in their books. I started out searching for "alphabet" images - but there really are not that many I could use and they downloaded very fuzzy. I did find Joel a set of sign language alphabet in my Printmaster Clipart - he loved them! His favorite DVD though is Signing Time ABCs. Then one of the RSS feeds I follow pointed to this site ... http://thecoloringspot.com/ - I'm not copying them as full pages - though I suppose I could take the time to do so - just the thumbnails to print out for the little ones to cut and paste. (Hmmm.... paste, interesting that we still use that word when what we mean is glue stick. Wonder if I could even FIND a nice cheap bottle of school paste anymore?) Another great site was http://www.coloringcastle.com/ - there I found alphabets that could be colored with shapes inside the letters, only plain, circles, and squares - and links to other educational pages. http://www.learningplanet.com/ - found online preschool games and a set of alphabet cards you could download to color that match their games. Then I tripped here - http://www.first-school.ws/THEME/alphabetp1.htm - which has links to all sorts of alphabet helps. With dial-up, it may take me a while to look through them all. I think that will be about all I get to look for today. GetRight is trying to download the pages I marked. Little ones are up from naps, girls are doing chores, Supper should be the next item on our list - I've got to find something to go with the Kefir pudding and a salad.
