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.
