Finger Puppets

Help your child to discover these two tricky letter shapes right in their own hands! Print and colour in the image, then get creative with coloured paper and feathers to make your own hand puppets. Many children get confused between similar letter shapes such as 'b' and 'd'. The secrets for avoiding the b/d confusion lie in:

• very different starting-strokes: at the top for b, and in the middle for d, and
• in the design of the two characters, both acting as pointers (like most of the other Letterlanders) in the direction children's eyes must travel to read.
