I've been collecting bottle tops (and bribing my friends to do the same) for months now.
This week will be all about activities that you can do with tops!
Bottle Top Sentences
B has been really interested in reading lately so together we made up a few sentences (using words that he knows or can sound out) and drew a picture next to them. I wrote the words on water bottle tops, B matches them on the sentence strips, and we read the sentence together.

great idea. I'm going to start saving caps!
ReplyDeleteThis is just AWESOME! Thank you! Can't wait to see your other bottle top activities!
ReplyDeletedo you mean like off of 2 liters. what a great idea. WAIT maybe those are water bottle lids.
ReplyDeletethese happen to be water bottle lides (my friend saved for me), but 2 liter bottle tops would work too. I think white is the easiest color to work with so you can write right on it. Later in the week I use different colors and cover them and that is a lot of work for as many as you need for this activity.
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting them for a while too. My kids love to learn with bottle caps. I just put number stickers on some and we are doing math equations. For some reason, I never thought to write words on them though! I'll be doing this over the next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! These would be great to slip into a ziploc and take when going out to eat too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have been collecting lids for a while! I have preschoolers, so I think I'll put a letter on each one and use them to build words!
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea! I have lots of bottle tops that I have been saving for something. I like this!
ReplyDeleteYou could add magnets for more fun!
ReplyDelete(As soon as I saw the link to this post, I wondered how you managed to accumulate so many bottle tops! LOL. We just don't drink enough!)
Great idea...I think my 3 year old would love playing with bottle caps. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! I love the use of bottle caps; for some reason, circles make everything so much cuter!
ReplyDeleteThat is a REALLY fab idea!! What a great way to get word recognition going! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere from Mom Loop;)
You such great ideas for bottle tops. I need to drink more drinks with caps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! We use lots and lots of bottled water and so now, I won't feel as guilty since I have some projects I can do with the lids! I can't wait to get started. Thanks again for the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhich means I can continue collecting them. They can be put to good use! We still have ways to go to reach this level, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I have saved bottle lids for awhile...different colors. Might be great to use different colors to represent the different parts of speech (nouns -red/verbs - green, etc.)for older children! Thannk you!
ReplyDeleteSuper idea! This activity will also help children understand spacing between words for sentences! Good job!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! I will have to give this a try.
