Walking by the Way

Under the Sea ABCs

My friend emailed this fun idea to me, and I knew Simon would love it! 

Supplies
(I put everything in one of Simon’s workboxes)

I was determined not to buy any of the super cute glitter or sequins or confetti at Hobby Lobby.  Instead, I kept this craft cheap by raiding the craft closet at home.

~alphabet beads
~lots of sparklies (sequins, glitter, fun beads, confetti, etc.)
~empty water bottle (preferrably without ridges)
~corn syrup
~Aleene’s Tacky Glue

Fill the water bottle with 1/2 corn syrup and 1/2 water

Set all the beads out and have your preschooler find the letters of the alphabet as you call them out; drop them in the bottle one by one

Let your preschooler add sparkly things

Glue the lid on (tight!).  Give it a few shakes (it’s so very cool…the picture doesn’t really do it justice)

Now your preschooler can play "I Spy" with the alphabet anytime!    What a great thing to throw in a workbox.
