This letter of the week activity is a great way for kids to work on letter recognition in a fun way.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Servings: 1 letter L craft
Cost: $5

Equipment

  • 1 pair of scissors
  • 1 printer

Ingredients

  • 1 piece yellow cardstock paper
  • 1 piece printer paper
  • 2 pieces orange and yellow cardstock paper
  • 1 marker or crayon
  • 2 googley eyes

Instructions

  • If you're using the template to create an alligator you'll start by printing off the page and tracing the template onto yellow cardstock.
  • After you cut out your cardstock letter 'L', use your glue stick (you could use school glue too) to add a cut out circle for a lion's head. Cut out small circles to use as ears too and glue on.
  • Next, add googley eyes, a cut out nose and draw on any other face details.
  • Finally, make a mane! Using cut out cardstock scraps, yarn, string or tissue paper glue the mane onto the craft. This part can be a bit tricky for smaller hands/fingers, it may be helpful to cut out the pieces in advance or have an adult help with the glueing.
