Velcro

• Glue V page … Draw a large V on your paper. Cut a length of sticky-back velcro. Stick the soft side to one side of the V. Stick the scratchy side to the other side of the V. Let the kids feel the textures!

• Velcro Ball Catch Game
  1. I have found these at several stores in the spring. You can also get them on Amazon here.
  2. The paddles have a velcro surface. When you throw the ball, it sticks to the paddles! Even my 2-year-old can catch the ball if I throw it right on the paddle

• Velcro Word Game 
  1. Make a simple blank word strip. Cut 2 strips 8 1/2” by 2” from cardstock and tape them to make one long strip. (mine are leftover pattern strips, you don’t need the alternating colored boxes!!)
  2. Print out a set of alphabet letters (or two for extra letters). Cut the tiles apart and laminate.                                                          
  3. Use sticky back velcro dots. Stick one side to the word strip (8-10 dots or so). Stick the other velcro side to the back of each letter tile.
  4. Use a box of First Words flashcards (I found these at the dollar store or Target’s dollar spot)                                                                    
  5. Velcro the letter tiles to the word strip to match the letters and spell the words on the flashcards!
