My 2 year old daughter is in a sensitive period for letters/letter sounds. See how we started here.
Here are our DIY Sound Bags:
The bags were at our local craft store in the wedding section. I used fabric markers to write the letters.
Then I put mini figures, picture cards, magnets and go-together picture and letter puzzles in each bag that begin with that letter.

First, we read the letter sound on the front of the bag, then she reaches in to see what's inside.
She opens each one of these bags with such excitement. She names each object as she pulls it out. For example, here she said, "Octopus! Ahh (for the letter O sound), Octopus!"
It literally looked like she was opening Christmas presents the first time we did this together.
After we explored the bags, I asked her to help me add moveable alphabet letters to each one.
She had fun "stuffing" them herself.
As she learns more letter sounds, I will make more ... for now, we're sticking with the ones she's familiar with.
When she wants to work on this, she takes the basket off the shelf and brings it to her workspace.
Have you created anything like this for your children?
