I finished up these Faces of Type cards just in time to take them to Indiana over Thanksgiving and have my über-talented sister-in-law photograph them.
One of my favorites in the set is "R" which was convenient since my 3 year-old nephew — whose name starts with "R" — took an interest in them. It made me incredibly giddy to watch him rearrange, play, and ask me to help him spell words with the cards.
Perhaps my true calling is creating flash cards with faces and tape...
