When I first started Impress Your Kids it was because of a little blog I found called No Time For Flashcards. When I say little, of course, I mean HUGE and AMAZING. Allison, the author is an amazingly creative insightful mama who uses crafts to teach her son the alphabet and more. I got to meet and chat with Allison at Blissdom and fell even more in love with her!
This week Allie released her first ebook: Alphabet Crafts.
Don’t you love it already? Each letter has it’s own craft that kinda reminds me of The Letter People. (Remember them?) Each craft is made out of EASY materials, nothing crazy you need to buy or learn to use. (This is important to me. I am not as crafty as I look…)
Lydia and I looked at every single craft and she decided we needed to do the V vase.
Is that the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?! Lydia had such a fun time. We talked about colors, “v” words, our “v” verse, flowers, long and short stems and more! Every letter in the book is like this: a really great craft that shows the sound, the word and the letter.
You can get your own copy of Alphabet Crafts for a mere $8 by going to No Tme For Flash Cards. {Please do! You will love it!} Or you can win one here! Allie has generously offered up a copy for one of our readers! If you’d like to win a copy of Alphabet Crafts…
Leave a comment telling me a descriptive word starting with the first letter of your name (ie. Amazing Amanda!)
If you’d like an additional entry, leave a separate comment if you:
1. Subscribe (or be a subscriber) to Impress Your Kids.
2. Tweet the following: I wanna win @NoFlashCards’ new “Alphabet Crafts” ebook from @impressyourkids! http://wp.me/pw8ov-H4
3. Share this post on your facebook/tumblr/blog/sampler.
I’ll announce the winner on our fyi@iyk post this Saturday! Thanks again to Allison from No Time For Flash Cards. Please read her blog, follow her on twitter–you’ll love her, I promise!
No disclosure necessary because I bought my own Alphabet Crafts ebook. I asked Allison if she would like to give one away on our blog. I just wanted to spread the love for her!

I love that I can simply do these things with my daughter with no planning ahead. Just grab the stuff we already have.

I use Allison’s letter crafts, or variations of them, quite a bit with my preschool students. She has been a tremendous resource. This is a great giveaway.
