And the hardest part for me was getting the kids to not pick off the sprinkles for a snack. The best part for the kids was adding glue and putting on the sprinkles. (And I really need to make them do some more of their own cutting.) You can see that my Four really wanted to use all his paper circles and extended his paper so that he could. Of course you can’t do Letter “I” crafts without ice cream! I cut out the cones and circles for the kids. I got the idea and pattern from All Kids Network. These were from a decent sized box of all different shapes and sizes for around $5. I don’t sew much (okay, I don’t sew at all), so I get my buttons from Michaels. I saw a lot of Indian corn crafts, but we decided on this one. You can find very clear instructions over at Homeschool Creations. A cute craft - but one where Mom had to do most of the work because it required careful use of a stapler. My boys enjoyed coloring the tubes and watching me assemble their bugs. Then we cut around the I’s and glued them to construction paper for contrast.įor each inchworm you will need two toilet paper tubes. We found insects in our old sticker book, cut them out (okay, I cut them out), and the kids glued them. I gave the kids a copy of a giant letter I.
All three of my big kids (2,4,5) loved this one.Īren’t these great? Save your old sticker books! That’s where we got the bright insect photographs for this activity. I think that would be the better way to go. Over at Teach Preschool, they put the worm down first. When it was dry we glued on the construction paper inchworms. We dipped plastic forks in tempera paint to make the grass printing. We found find the original idea over at Kiboomu Kids Crafts.Ĭould you have guessed what this was without the title? Did you figure out how we made the grass? I love this idea from Teach Preschool. This would be a nice beginning craft for your toddler if you were right there to put down the glue. To make it more challenging, older kids could draw the frame and cut out the squares. Of course you could use paper for this, but to mix it up I cut out some square foam pieces for the boys, and they had fun gluing them to the igloo frame that I drew on their papers. Finding fun crafts for the letter was a little tougher than some other letters, but thanks to Pinterest we found some winners!
