Hello/Welcome letters/words for windows

What’s included?
This pdf download includes x4 landscape orientation sheets featuring every letter (and full word labels) to make the two words ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome’ with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters/words for (window) display.

What’s it for?
These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes.

These letters/words are ideal for displaying on a glass panel on a classroom door, offering a different and interesting ‘welcome’ to visitors to your classroom/learning space and obviously encourage learners to recognise and read these words.

I have included the full set of alphabet letters as a separate listing in my TES shop.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two though would suit any window where those who see the letters/words would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out!

Resource Details
The letters are all in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 220-250, so a clear, ‘easy to read’ size. There are x4 pages. The first page includes clear step-by-step instructions and the remaining pages includes the separate letters to make the words ‘Welcome’ and ‘Hello’ (with exclamation marks!) The last page (4) includes the two words as one-word labels.

Suggestions
I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are pretty inexpensive on Amazon(!)

In addition I recommend also backing every letter/each word in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much sharper on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time.

Important message…
