My ABC Adventure: Felt Alphabet Book for Boys
Well, I’ve been busy!
A couple of weeks ago I shared a felt alphabet book pattern for girls–and because I have a very outspoken boy here in my house–I quickly worked to get the boy version done.
And HERE IT IS!

Before I get into the details of the pattern, I’d like to talk about how awesome it is to be the mom of boys, and this very special boy in particular.
I grew up in a house of girls.
I was one of 4 sisters and only got a brother when I was older.
As a result, I never really understood boy things–like roughhousing or swords and guns and dinosaurs.
My childhood was incredibly happy–but also incredibly girly.
I am now the mother of 2 little boys–Gus will be 4 in May and Dominic was born in June.
My oldest, Gus, is ALL BOY.
He loves it all–trucks, legos, dinosaurs, guns, tractors, football, snow-blowers, shovels…
And with every passing, I am falling more and more in love with little boys.
They are just so much fun! Their lives are full of action and adventure!
Along with all of these things, my little Gus loves to read and look at books.
He was at my elbow the entire time I was working on this book, squealing over every single page. “Oh mom, you made me a Lego guy! You’re the best!!!” “I get to have a tractor in my book? Yes!”
His enthusiasm is what fueled me–and it’s why I was able to get this book done so fast.
It’s his joy for the adventure that I really tried to capture in this alphabet book.

Here is a closer look at all the pages:
While creating this book I ran into a little problem–there are just too many good boy words!
So, as a result, this Alphabet book ended up with 28 to-scale templates (2 for the letter T and 2 for the letter D).
Here is the rundown for pages:
- A- Ambulance
- B- Bus
- C- Car
- D- Dinosaur AND Dump Truck
- E- Elevator
- F- Forklift
- G- Guitar
- H- Helicopter
- I- Insect
- J- Jet
- K- Key
- L- Lego
- M- Motorcycle
- N- Nail
- O-Ocean
- P- Pirate
- Q- Quarterback
- R- Robot
- S- Superhero
- T- Tractor AND Train
- U- Unicycle
- V- Volcano
- W- Wagon
- X- Excavator
- Y- Yo-yo
- Z- Zamboni.
And, if you’d like to see one of the templates from this book, head over to my good friend Sarah’s blog, RepeatCrafterMe.com.
I’m guest posting over there right now and giving away one of my favorite pages: “T is for Tractor”!

Thanks for being here and sharing this with me!
For more ideas, I’d love for you to visit my Pattern Shop!
I just found this, is it still available. I’ve been.looking for a long time for something like this.
yup, it is still available!
I can’t wait to try out the ABC Adventure book for my nephew. When I showed his mom the pictures, she was thrilled. I did have one question. I noticed when I downloaded the pattern that the Pretty ABC book included a materials list. Do you have something like that for the ABC Adventure book?
I actually don’t have a supply list, and I hesitate to make one. I used so many different colors–and little pieces of each. I would suggest just purchasing around 15 different colors of felt sheets and using that to make the book.
Sorry I couldn’t be more specific.
