For this project, we chose to make an alphabet game as a
gift to the preschool class. Amélie, their teacher, will be able to use it to
teach the letters of the alphabet to the preschool children.
We started by sculpting letters, numbers and signs on
potatoes cut in half. We then dipped them into paint and used them as stamps on
little squares of paper, like it was done in the beginnings of printing. Next, we painted the letters directly onto white sheets of paper. We then laminated the labels we had created while another group painted the
background of the game.
We finished the game in groups, some were drawing the last
letters, others were sticking Velcro onto the board, and finally, another group finished covering the labels. We then went into the Preschool classroom to
give them the alphabet game and presented some of the games they can do with the
letters, numbers and signs. We really liked our work.
