Well, it's that time again.....time to give, give, give...YAY!
A friend and I were chillin' at Barnes & Noble the other day and came across some cute stuff for the kiddos. "The alphabet". I didn't LOVE them, but thought the educational sentiment was perfect for my little nugget, since she has been showing interest in shapes and letters.
So, I came up with my own version. Something waaaay cuter (hee hee) and something that took a lot less steps & materials to make!
Meet my version of "Alphabet Soup"
...A fun way to play & learn with letters. And something NOT plastic and doesn't need batteries!
We have been organizing and touching these cuties all week long...the LilyBug loves them.....especially the A, O and X........I have no idea why, but she does. I keep trying to get her to love up on the "L", for Lilyana......nope. She runs back to her favs, and carries them around like they are her babies.
They are sew simple....even for a beginning sewer. Heck, you do not even need a sewing machine to make these, because they would look adorable hand-stitched with embroidery thread.
Basically, all you need is fabric scraps, fusible fleece and some letter stencils/templates. You can do this, right?? Nooooo problema! These would make unique letters for scrapbook layouts as well....OR, slip in a magnet and use them as a fun fridge alphabet set.....
I loved how these turned out, soOoooooOooo
I want to give one lucky reader a fat stack of 52 pieces of yummy fabrics & all the fusible fleece you will need to make your own "Alphabet Soup"....
....and your own set of letter stencils, plus directions.
Your own little "Alphabet Soup" kit! 
Don't wanna make letters? Then use all this happiness to add to your fabric stash, of course I wont mind! Or give it as a fun gift...
What to do to qualify?
All you have to do is leave a comment.....yep, that's it. Leave your name, too...please!
A winner will be chosen this weekend.
*Chat* soon, friends!

Nichole

~Erin Reagan <3
So I suppose I could make those with my own fabric, but yours is WAAAAY cuter than anything I've got! Please please please pick me! My daughter Claire would be most grateful too! :)
A fabric alphabet set, what a great idea! My little girl would love those - so much easier to handle than the wooden puzzle we have, and way cuter! :)
I want I want I want. Oh, my 2 year old would SO love this! :)
I LOVE this! I totally agree about the "no plastic no batteries" idea for toys. We've been trying to keep toys to a minimum for our little guy and definitely have been straying away from plastic, light-up, noise-making toys (no matter how "educational" the packaging says the toy is). And they are sooo cute!
Margaret
This is adorable. I would love to make a set for my kids!
Thanks for the idea :)
Natalie P.
Love this idea and would love to win the kit.
Oh! They are so so cute! And I reckon that even a sewing dunce like myself could manage these.

Love this idea! Have to try it with the magnets in.

Oh these are really so very cute... :)
We are all about the ABC's right now too, and what a fun bunch of fabrics to have them in.. !!
At the risk of sounding like the crazy cat lady, my kitties would love those. Seriously. I could make a bunch of J's for Jenkins and Jemima and fill them with catnip! Hee hee hee, then I'd have a couple of drunk kitties and could maybe get some work done.
Actually, I just want all that fabric because I was given a very nice sewing machine and I'm dying to learn how to use it!
Oh, Alex would love this!!! He loves flash cards and these letters would be perfect!
Awesome creation!!!
I would love to do this! I am a Librarian and it would look so good in the Library in the Beginning Reader Section!
Cat Kotaka

I love these letters. Tactial letters are so good for the kids. My two year old would love them just as much as my older kids would. Touching, holding and tracing the letters is a very effective way to learn. So very fun! Please enter me in your drawing. Crossing my fingers!
