CVC WORD BUILDING USING SOLO CUPS

This activity uses plastic solo cups.  The solo cups were placed in the oven.  They melt into flat discs.  We printed the letters and pictures on the clear labels and stuck them on the discs.   Set your oven to 375 and look for cups that have the number 6 or 7 on the bottom. The number is found in the recycling symbol. NOTE: all ovens are different and cups change so you might to experiment to find the cups and settings that work.
