We've all seen the 'traditional' alphabets for kids:
A is for Apple
B is for Ball
.
.
.
O is for Oh my gosh how boring
etc.
But how about some more specific alphabets, for builders, or space explorers? What about specific categories, like collective nouns, or types of toy?
Let's write some new alphabets ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I'll suggest one, and do the first few letters. Each subsequent poster then write one or two more letters, and when we reach Z, someone suggest a new alphabet for us to carry on with.
