An Alphabet interactive learning resource for the EYFS and KS1 children.

Children are invited to personalise the cards by colouring in these white sections. These cards can also be used to create an alphabet frieze around your classroom, thereby reinforcing alphabet and animal knowledge. As the children colour in their cards, they can then attach them to the frieze. Links with Phonics, Animals and their Habitats.
