Need help with greek letters

[Hot Lava Mama]

Is it possible that there are greek letters out there that I can get for my son to "hold". I am thinking along the lines of letters just like we use when they are first learning to read english. Sometimes they are plastic magnetic ones, there are some wood ones, etc. I need some greek letters like this because we are learning how to spell greek words, and I think my ds would benefit from being able to "hold" the letters as he spells them. I was thinking of free hand drawing them and cutting them out in paper, but my artistic skills are laughable. Plus, I will need many of the same letters since some are used multiple times in some words. Also, my computer is SO old, I am not able to download anything to use. Any ideas?

Thanks. If you gals can help me with this, I will be shocked! But lets give it a go!

Julie Shields from this board was kind enough to send me the templates and directions.
I have no idea how to send an attachment-I wonder if I forward you the email if the attachment goes also?

Julie-is that o.k. with you?

Sure. No problem. :)

Also, there are blocks with the Greek letters (https://www.playchild.com/catalog/greek-alphabet-blocks-p-1864.html). Props to Plaid Dad who linked them once. :)

What's particularly cool about these is that the company started making them after I approached them and told them that scads of classical homeschoolers would buy them. :D They are wonderful quality, too.

We did end up using the sculpy clay and the "Hey Andrew" book 1 picture of the greek letters. I just rolled the clay into thin "worms" and used the pictures of each letter in the Hey Andrew book. IT LOOKS GREAT! Thanks everyone for the ideas! Now we can "hold" the greek words we are working on!

THIS BOARD IS AMAZING!!

I'm not sure how to post a link to a word document that's not on the internet. Help, someone!

try googling for Greek letters for frats and sororities. I know that when I was in college we used to buy wooden letters at the college stores to use for our paddles to give to our big brothers and sisters. I know that they had them in all sizes ----they were very similar to the wooden letters that I use of Montessori.
