Letter "Nn" Recognition - Picture Mnemonics

This craft activity involves children being actively involved in associating the picture to the letter and more effectively making this more meaningful to them. The purpose is to have them associate the letter "Nn" to the initial sound in "napping". The children paint and color the "Nn" napping as shown in the photograph. The template is found in the theme book.
