Capital "D" is stamped with dinosaurs.
The lower case "d" is decorated with dots.

Letter B


Capital "B" we decorated to look like a bee. He put the stripes on himself. :)
For the lower case "b," we went through the crayons and found the colors that start with "b." He colored it blue, brown, and black.
We also read a book and wrote down all the words that started with the letter "b."

Then we had to make the rest of the characters. We made Peter:


Grandpa:


"Sonia" the duck:


"Sasha" the bird:


"Ivan" the cat:
