What you need

A full sheet of paper, a pencil, an optional eraser, and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Choose a letter together. Adult lightly writes it large in pencil, leaving room around it.
  2. Draw a rounded outline around each stroke of the letter, joining the outlines where strokes meet. Add a small enclosed space where the letter needs one.
  3. Erase the pencil guide if desired, then fill the puffy letter with colors, dots, or lines. Add a picture of something whose name starts with the letter.

Adult stays beside the child and helps draw or erase if requested.
