Title: ABC Post by: ssweetpea on September 26, 2009, 03:14:13 pm I need to sew a wall hanging to put name tags on for preschoolers.
I thought it would look good if I decorated it with animals or similar illustrating each letter of the alphabet. I need a list of things, preferably non fictional creatures, that I can construct recognizable images of from fabric and thread. The more recognizable by 2 year old New Zealanders the better, foreign language names would be OK as many of these kids don't speak English as a first language but they all have been to Auckland Zoo. Ideas I have so far: A - ant, aardvark, antelope B - bee, bear, bison, butterfly C - cat, cow (cattle), caterpillar d - duck, dog, dolphin e - elephant, eagle, egg f - fox, flamingo g - gorilla, giraffe h - horse, hippopotamus i - iguana, ibis, iris j - jaguar k - kiwi, koala, kangaroo l - llama, Lima, lion m - mouse, morepork, monkey n - o - octopus, otter p - platypus q - quail r - rabbit s - snake, spider, sheep t - tiger u - v- vulture, vole w - walrus, wallaby x - ox? fox? axolotl? y - yak z - zebra Some of those are too hard or too alike. Help please! Title: Re: ABC Post by: Calliope on September 26, 2009, 03:29:52 pm My choices would be (in red)

Just a thought for you :) |
