1-minute read • Updated on

Brian recently posted a link in the forum to an interesting Muppet alphabet, and I wanted re-post it here in the blog. They could be used as alphabet pegs or as mnemonic images for the English alphabet.

  • Animal
  • Bunsen and Beaker

This is brilliant, especially for people learning the English alphabet. They could interact these figures with images that help them recall the sound of each letter.

Other extensive casts of characters might include GI Joe, The Transformers and the like. Not that these cover every letter of the alphabet, but for the record:
