Two or Three-sound objects with short vowel sounds

These are objects that would work with the Sound Blending Game, I Spy, Moveable Alphabet with Objects and Phonetic Object Boxes.
These are sorted by vowel sound:

a ant, bag, bat, can, cat, fan, ham, hat, man, map, mat, pan, ram, rat, tag, van
e egg, bed, bell, elf, hen, jet, leg, net, pen, web, well
i bib, fig, lid, lip, pig, pin, wig
o box, dog, doll, fox, log, mop, pot, top
u bug, bun, bus, cup, gum, jug, mug, nut, rug, sun, tub

Make Your Own

One way to make the objects is to sculpt them out of clay and then paint them:
