Episode 108 - Broaden Your Horizons
Segment #3 -ABC's
Activity - ABC Book

Remove the liner from a single-portion cereal box.   Cut off the top, right side and bottom panels of the box.   The remaining portion of cardboard will be the front, spine and back of the book.

Paint or cover both sides of your new book with solid-colored or patterned adhesive -backed paper.   Decorate with stickers, drawings or photos, or cut out shapes from contrasting colors of adhesive-backed paper.   Write the title of your book on the front.  

For pages, cut sheets of construction paper slightly smaller than the book cover.   To bind the book, punch two holes along the center of the spine, one hole 1/2 inch from the top and the other 1/2 inch from the bottom.   Punch corresponding holes in the paper.   Thread ribbon, cording or string through the holes, from top to bottom and knot it on the outside.

Create a rubbing for each letter of the alphabet.   Place paper over a key and rub with a crayon for the letter "K", or make a rubbing of the pattern on the sole of your shoe for "S".   Glue your rubbings into your book and write the corresponding alphabet letter next to the rubbing.
