Finding the alphabet in everyday things

This task only requires your imagination! As you can see I have created the whole alphabet using objects inside the house and items from the garden. For younger children this is a great activity to spark curiosity by finding items that look like the different letters and for older children the task can be made slightly more challenging by taking photos of the items and creating a collage like I have done above. 

What you will need:
- items from around the house
- a camera or iPad/phone camera (not essential)

This activity is quite self explanatory so I won't leave instructions, only some tips if you want to take photos and create a collage. 

- This is not essential, but I found the letters stood out better when edited into black and white.

- To create the collage I used the app Pic Collage, but you can use any free editing app or Microsoft Word. If you find there is a gap at the start and end of your collage, you can fill it with a blank tile or even find an object the shape of a heart, star etc to fill it.

If you are stuck and want some inspiration, here are the list of items that I used for my collage: kitchen tongs, CDs, mug handle, bananas, plant, gloves, charging cable, glasses, candle stick, rope, scissors, scrabble letters, tights, hole puncher, plug hole, shower head, tennis rackets, shoe laces, hoover pipe, wooden art mannequin, telephone wire, photo holder, wifi box antenna, floor tiles, bamboo and a lamp.

Extra suggestion:
- Once you have tried taking photos of the alphabet, have a go at writing your name or write a sentence.
-You can also print out your letters to make a physical collage that you can mix and match to create different words. :)
