Homeschool Ideas: Blends Cards

My Abeka curriculum called for blends practice cards, but I had not purchased them.  I'm sure they are not the same format as Abeka, but I decided to make my own.  I printed out a list of blends, cut them out, then overlaid them with contact paper.  The neat thing we discovered was that you could write on them with dry-erase markers!  I usually have the kids read the blends, then I add letters to make the blend into a word.  I even let the kids experiment with making their own words!
