ABC's 123's


I have been working on the alphabet, numbers and shapes with my son since he was a baby.  Today I decided to play a game with him with his alphabet puzzle by asking him to get me specific letters. 
(He just turned 2 )
 To my surprise he got all of then right and I did not ask in order!  But, I realized half of then he new by the "picture" next the the letter from the videos he watches.  Like for example, instead of saying "S" he called it "Sun" or instead of saying "D" he called the letter "Dog".  So since I did not want him catching on to that habit I decided to cut this letter banner I had in his room into flash cards and make my own video with him.  It was AMAZING! We had so much fun, he also got really into it by helping me hold the flash card to the camera!  And since I had the camera facing us he could see himself on the screen as it was recording.

See my son watches a bunch of videos from YouTube on letters numbers and shapes (we use these videos for car rides) and he has a few favorite ones, and his main one is a phonics song (hence why he calls the letters by the picture figure rather than its name) so my mistake but now he has a fun video on just the name of each letter and HE is in it! Honestly the best teaching idea I have come up with haha. Here are some still shots from the video and some picture from the puzzle games!
