Imperfect Traditional Print Movable Alphabet

These are just like our first quality materials except there is a slight production error that made us judge them as second quality (scratch & dent). The error may be that the colors are slightly off, the cards slightly askew, a spot or small hair in the laminate on one or more cards, and/or a slight curve to the laminate. Other than that, these are perfect and complete (no typos, no missing cards). Our production error means big savings for you!

• Includes 20 of each vowel, 20 each of the high frequency consonants n, r, s, and t, and 10 each of all other consonants...plenty of letters to write everything they like!
• Consonants are pink and vowels are blue to match the sandpaper letters
• Choose from any of our three Montessori fonts (to match your sandpaper letters)
• Eco-laminated and read for years of use
• Rounded corners (to acknowledge the tactile sensitivities of those small hands)
• All letters are printed on only one side to isolate the lower-case letter
• Cards are approx. 1.25"W x 2"H and are eco-printed on only one-side (to isolate the difficulty)
• Comes with a powerful lesson plan that will bring the alphabet work to life
• Pair this with our Phonogram Alphabet (sold separately) so your child can choose from all of the key sounds of English
• Display it in our alphabet pocket chart pouch (sold separately)

Created by a Montessori teacher. Eco-printed by parents/teachers/students in our rural New England office.

If you'd rather craft these yourself, you can purchase a Digital File ready to print and cut.

Made in the USA.

STORAGE OPTIONS

Cloth Pouches: Our favorite way to house and display our alphabets is in our Alphabet Pocket Chart Cloth Pouches. These are color-coded to match your alphabet. 

Egg Cartons: Traditional alphabets can be stored and displayed in egg cartons. We recommend placing two plastic cartons (one 18-egg carton and one 12-egg carton) side-by-side and hot gluing the bottoms to a piece of foam board or chipboard. Use the lids to help keep the dust off when the alphabets are not in use.

Craft Box: We like the 40-compartment box available from the Container Store because it has a transparent lid that helps keep the dust out without hiding the letters. Another alternative is a velvet 30 compartment jewelry box (like this one we found on Amazon). We tested it in a public school Montessori classroom it held up well...the children loved to touch its soft sides.
