to not be able to think of anything that starts with an i

[Ilythia]

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.

it?

dinosaurs that start with I

Iguanodon
Ichthyosaur

or one of those christian fishes? Ichthus, they're called.

like igloo - picture thereof.

inches? take a rule.

Quite fancy doing a Mumsnet ABC

Incense (not too sure how many 5-year-olds are down with incense really though)
Imp?

Instrument? Toy tambourine, etc.

I think I remember my dd taking Incy Wincy Spider for the i table. It was just a toy spider we had.

Indiana Jones hat

She could just gesture to the empty air and say "I present: Invisible."

at angrypixie, she is right, it is a short i.

Invisible is great, although slightly beyond my desperate to please 4 year old to pull off...
So far she is going with iggle piggle but we have a spider toy for incey wincey if she likes.

I knew you guys could help!

(JKS, I got it from the TV show Spartacus, Ilythia is a character, I have previous for being a famous tv show character so am keeping up the theme...)

Dead easy Ilythia - google iguanadon in google images and print off - job done!

QuizteamBleakley - lol at the collage of people with names starting with 'i'.

Could do a collage of lots of 'i' things? Igloo, iguanadon etc...things that you wouldn't have in your house.

Could take some itching powder...liven up the phonics lesson a bit

I don't think images (although that's another one) is the done thing, they ask for objects. gah.
We have some great ones for the other letters, bloody i

Do you have a set of toy food? DD took a toy ice cream. Her name start with I and she decided to sit on the table for a while as well
