A - Alphabet Art
Materials: |
crayons, paper |
Directions:
|
Draw a large letter in the middle of the paper. Turn
the paper all around. What
object, animal, person, or place does it look like? Use
crayons to "camouflage”
the letter to make it look like something.
|
Adaptations: |
Challenge children to create an object out of the letter
that begins with that sound.
Tie in with units of study or seasonal themes.
For example: make
something out of "100” for the "Hundred Day Celebration,”
or make something
out of a shamrock on St. Patrick's Day. |
