Homemade Sandpaper Letters

The Montessori From Scratch website has a nice idea
of how to make sandpaper letters (could be numbers as well). I was stuck cutting
out all mine, painting the boards, sanding the boards only to have the sandpaper

numbers not stick down no matter how hard I tried. So this direct glue and sand method
is a great solution! I suggested the use of a template for the glue before applying
sand if you want real professional looking letters or numbers. You could just use
a brush and stencil the numbers or letters in glue and then apply  the sand
as demonstrated on this blog:
