Talking Points
"Today, we are going to make the alphabet using things we find in nature. Let's go on a walk and collect sticks, leaves, rocks, and sand!"
"Now, let's sort our materials. Can you help me put all the sticks in one pile and the leaves in another?"
"Let's start with the letter 'A'. We can use sticks to make the straight lines and leaves to make the curves."
"What letter should we make next? How about 'B'? Let's use rocks to form the shape of the letter."
"Great job, Elisabeth! You've made the whole alphabet using natural materials. Which letter was your favorite to create?"
