for DD1's 'sound table' at school.

She has to take in an object that starts with the sounds for the week, this week is 'l' and she took a ladle, easy.
Next week it is 'i' as in 'igloo'.
I cannot think of anything that she can take in that works for 4 year olds
image - weird word for 4 year olds
imprint - ditto
ice - well, quite.
