Magenta Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 We have lots of magnetic letters and letter cubes, but the children find it difficult to find the letters they are looking for. Does anyone have a good way of storing them so chn. can find the letters they want. I tried labelling bun tins, but the labels came off too easily. We have long flat radiators so was thinking of putting an alphabet strip along the top for chn. to match letters to, but I think that they'll end up all over the place! Any ideas?

Guest Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Depending on the size of them you could try a box with lots of compartments, you can get them from hobby craft i think they are bead boxes another thing that we use is little draws again from hobby craft and paint each letter sound on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Any Diy shop will sell you boxes with compartments, trouble is I have never found one big enough to fit all the letters in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I get my plastic boxes from Ikea - colourful and could be marked with permenent marker pen. Have also been using the bags found in Persil Tabs boxes with a hole punched piece of laminated card with the letters for that bag on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I suspect they will get muddled up no matter how you organise them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
