Our kindergarten class does a really fun activity called "Letter Detective". They take turns taking this bag home and they have to bring back something that starts with the designated letter along with 3 clues for the class. They tell the class the 3 clues and then the class tries to figure out what could be inside. Hailey's teacher mentioned that her old bags were getting worn and she needed to search for some new ones. I LOVED the idea of the letter detective and I was sure that I could come up with something fun.
I purchased the bags at Waslmart and added a magnetic closure to the top of the bag. I found some really cute ABC fabric at JoAnn's and used wonder under to adhere it to the bag. Then I designed the letter detective portion on my computer. I printed it off on T-shirt transfer for dark colors and ironed it onto the yellow square. I sewed around the edge of the yellow fabric - just to make sure it wasn't going anywhere.
I think they turned out super cute!! The teacher loved them so much that she asked me to make 2 extra in case they got lost or worn out.
P.S. Chance had this same teacher 2 years later and I was glad to see that the bags were still in great shape...and she still LOVES them!!!!
