Phonics Sound Machine


Inspired by Pinterest (again) I made this yesterday. 
Very simply, it's a cardboard box rescued from the recycling, covered in tin foil, with a lid (also covered in foil) glued on the top. To make the button big and red and exciting I covered it in red glitter.
Then I printed off all 54 sounds from the alphabet & cut them out.
The idea is that they grab a card from inside, pop it on the box then when they hit the button they say the sound. My five year old made it a competition by keeping the cards he got right, which is nice but slightly unfair on his baby brother haha. 
It's been a big hit & I like that it all goes inside the box.
