Letter of the Week ! W w !

Word!

This is an awesome craft for children old enough for scissors, it’s still fun with younger ones but it requires a little more prep work. If you are homeschooling and have a word wall you can use those words for your craft , and simply write the words out instead of finding them in newspaper.

  1. Gather your materials. You will need some newspaper or paper to write words on, some cardboard ( old cereal boxes are always handy) ,double stick tape, crayons, glue and scissors.
  2. Cut out your words from the newspaper, if your child is able to let them do this themselves. Help the read the words .
  3. If you are doing this for a toddler cut the words out and using double stick tape tape them to cardboard backing , I just used some more cardboard for this. This will allow your child to glue the words on, newspaper is easily crumpled and toddler fingers have a hard time with it. The backing will help them do it without your help, which will help prevent hearing ” I do it” and ” Me do!” .
  4. Draw a big W and cut it out.
  5. Let your child color it with crayons.
  6. Grab the glue – I usually dot it on then close the cap and let my son imitate me. He is learning where to put it , and soon I will open it for him , but right now we are still practicing!
  7. Add the words.
  8. After it’s dry , sit with your child and ask about the words they chose, point our letters or simple praise their fantastic work!
