Making an Alphabet Book

Fredi (age 6) with her alphabet book made from recycled materials. It's a simple accordion book, made of foam board and attached with tape. This was inspired by the work of Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord.

What some of the letters are made of:

The A is made from images of three ice cream sandwiches.
The B is cut from an empty box of Bearitos popped corn.
The K is made from corn stalks found on a cereal box.
The W is cut from plastic flower identification tags.
The X is cut from plastic netting, made of lots of tiny Xs.
The Y is a chicken drumette with a wedge cut out.
The Z is chocolate, from an organic chocolate bar.
