The top left letter match can be found here. I do put all of the letter clothespins in the bag, but just didn't have enough room in the picture.
The bottom left letter match has a capital letter, a picture clue, and several lowercase letters for matching. They are also self-checking. I placed a sticker on the back where the clothespin would be if it is on the correct letter.
Beginning sounds:
(top right) Use Google Images to make cards, and use drink caps to make markers. I used stick on letters.
(bottom right) This also can be found at the link above. This one is animals, with clothespins that have the beginning letter on them. She has some others like this, as well.

Pool Noodles:
Where to start? These things can be used for sooo many activities! They can be laced on rope, stacked on rhythm sticks, or (seen here) ordered on a clothes hanger. I simply cut them into small sections, then cut a slit on one side to slide on the clothes hanger. They can be programmed with letters or numbers to order. If you have different colors, you can also use them for patterns! Note: Use different colored noodles for different activity bags...llthw
Rock Letters:
I simply traced circles onto paper in the shape of different letters, then added a supply of pretty blue rocks (Dollar Tree).
Letter Sticks:
Like the shape sticks, these are not a busy bag, but I do use them for transitions. I give every student one, then use them to call on them for transitions. I either call the letters in random order, or let them order the alphabet. "If you have the letter A, you may pick a center. Who has the letter that comes after A?" etc. (Foam letters courtesy of the Dollar Tree, of course!)
Classic Egg Match:
An Easter favorite, matching the uppercase to the lowercase. Note: Use only one or two colors per bag- and don't use the same color(s) for the other bags- to make it easy to figure out which bag they go with! (Lesson learned the hard way!)
