Here’s the first four letters of a dangerous alphabet for kids (well, mainly boys). I thought it would be fun to have each letter depict an amusing scenario containing a touch of violence or misfortune, nothing too serious, ants getting burnt with magnifying glasses, that sort of thing. Eventually I thought I could use the letters to create name plates or greeting cards. So if you like them give me some encouragement and I’ll persevere with the rest of the alphabet. Oh… and I’d also be happy to take suggestions for the other letters.
It turns out that this is also a fantastic kids activity, my son (Dylan) has really got into it. You might need to help them choose and spell the words, but after that it should keep them busy for hours, well, there are 26 letters! For further ideas and inspiration check out Dylan’s alphabet for boys.
Just found your great website. Nice boy perspective on these letters. Keep going! Love the other suggestions – here’s a few my boy would love
N – ninjas
S – superheroes
R – robots or ropes or race cars
M – mountain climbing
K – karate
L – labyrinth
K is for Katrina
E is for earthquake
R is for Rifles
S is for Supernatural
G is for Grenades
V is for Vampires
e – exams
f – failed
g – grounded
t – teachers
E is for Earthworms
H is for Helicopters
L is for Lasers
M is for Marsupials
N is for Ninjas
Z is for Zepplins
Just my opinions to finish out the inspiration for the remainder of the alphabet-please finish this-will be GREAT!

LOVE! The whole blog is fantastic! My mother spent the last seven years of her life bedridden, and designed the most amazing alphabets in the same vein. She did a series of toys, a series of transportation vehicles, and a series of buildings(structures). I’ll try to post them on our blog soon. What are you going to do with them?
e for excavate(construction site) or explore (explorers of old – ships/mountains etc)
g – gorilla
i – insects
j- jellyfish/jet
Thanks you Melissa – excavate would be great for the missing ‘E’. Scott
G is for Gorilla
I is for Icebergs (Titanic would agree)
J is for Jackalopes, jack o lanterns,
K is for killer bees
O is for opossums
P is for Pirates
Q is for Queen of hearts
R is for razorbacks
T is for tsunamis
U is for unicorns!!!
W is for wombats
Y is for yoyos
J is for Jungle
Oh please do persevere! I love this alphabet and my three boys just said, “Awesome” and then they wanted their names in those letters… and I am not creative, so I need you to finish it for me! Please?
I definitely plan to continue with this project, thanks for the comment. Scott
