Does your kiddo confuse b and d?

Aikman sometimes confuses b and d, and Little Learning Lovies posted this wonderful game to practice letter recognition.

Little Learning Lovies included a 4-sided paper die, but I decided to make my own.... I didn't want to give away what the letter was by the die (she has both the uppercase and the lowercase letter on the sides of the die), so I grabbed a blank die and stuck uppercase scrapbooking letters on the die.
Since the game concentrates on the 4 letters -- b, d, p, and q -- I stuck one letter on each side, and then decided to add an additional B and D to the remaining 2 blank sides. (ie 2B's, 2D's, 1P, 1Q)

Aikman LOVED the game, and we had to play it multiple times that day. As you can see, the bakugon toys had to be the board markers.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thanks Little Learning Lovies for sharing it!

Ethan has the same problem, I'll have to look into this game :) Any ideas for helping him with E and 3??? He always gets those mixed up too!

Thanks so much for linking over to my site! And I'm so glad you were able to use the game. I love the idea of relabeling a regular die. :) Sorry that I JUST saw this here. For some reason, I don't get the notices when someone links to me, even though I have it set up to do so. Oh well... Anyway, glad it was useful! :)
