Wingdings Vacation
Here is a fun activity to try with your kids. Open a Word document and type in all the keyboard characters and upper and lowercase letters at 100 point size. Copy and paste several times and change the font to Wingdings 1, Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3, and Webdings plus any other symbol fonts you have. Print them out, cut them up, and arrange them into stories! Here are a few to get inspired. This is a great activity for a pre-reader to get them thinking sequentially and empower them with storytelling tools they understand! Have fun!
