How To

Print out or draw an uppercase or lowercase letter P onto a sheet of yellow construction paper, then cut it out. Next, have your child draw straight lines on the part of the letter P that’s a straight line, going from the top to the bottom. If they’d like, they can use their finger to blend them slightly. This helps your yellow rectangle look more like a pencil.

Then, cut out a pink square to act as the pencil eraser and glue it to the bottom of the P. Finally, cut out a larger brown triangle and smaller black triangle, forming the top of the pencil and its sharp point.

Using a pair of scissors, cut a large, oval-shaped semi-circle from black construction paper to form the penguin body. Glue it onto the white sheet of paper so the curved end is pointing up and the straight end is pointing down. Then, cut a smaller oval-shaped semi-circle from the white paper and glue it on top of the black semi-circle, forming the penguin’s tummy.

Next, cut out one small orange triangle and two yellow triangles, creating the penguin’s nose and feet. Glue them down. For the final touch, glue on googly eyes to bring your penguin to life.

Draw or print out the outline of a letter P onto white paper. Have your child pick out several paint colors and squirt a bit of each onto a paper plate.

Clip a large or small pom pom in between the pinchers of a clothes pin. Then have your child dip the pom pom into the paint color of their choice and gently stamp it on to the letter P. Have them repeat this step with different colors and different sized pom poms until the letter P is filled in.

Pick out a smaller-sized potato that will fit easily into your child’s hand. Slice it in half. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the center
or a knife to score the surface with lines, creating a potato stamp. Pat the potato halves dry. Have your child select two different paint colors and add them onto a paper plate.

Then, have your child press the potato onto a paint color of their choice and gently stamp it onto the paper. Have them repeat this step with the other paint color. Once the paint has dried, ask your child to fill the empty holes with the letter P, using one color for uppercase Ps and the other color for lowercase Ps.

Tip: This technique works best if you pat the potato dry after cutting to absorb any water.

How To

Draw or print out the shape of an uppercase or lowercase letter P onto white paper and cut it out. Glue it onto your red piece of paper (or any other color paper you’d like). Then, help your child use a ruler and pencil to create the rectangles that will form the black keys of the piano. Ask your child to use the black marker to color in the rectangular keys.

Next, use the ruler and pencil to create the white piano keys, drawing straight lines down from the center of the black keys to the edge of the paper. Finally, ask your child to trace over their pencil lines with black marker to complete the look of their piano.

How To

For this paper craft, start by trimming a round face shape from white
construction paper with a pair of scissors. Then, cut semi-circles from the white construction paper, forming the base of the polar bear’s ears.

Next, cut smaller gray semi-circles from the gray paper to form the inner part of the polar bear’s ears. Use the same paper to trim out a smaller circle to form the bear’s snout. Work with your child to use these pieces to assemble the polar bear’s face and glue the pieces down. Then use a black marker to draw in the polar bear’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

How To

Print out or draw the outline of the letter P onto a piece of white paper. Decide how many colors you’d like to use to create your plaid pattern, keeping in mind the colors will need to dry in between to prevent them from blending. Add a little bit of each paint color to a paper plate.

Have your child paint lines all going in one direction across the entire letter P. If using multiple paint colors, let the letter P dry. If using the same paint color, go ahead and paint lines going in the opposite direction so they intersect with the first lines you painted. You can stop here or let the paint dry, then fill in the squares with a variety of colors for a vibrantly plaid letter P!

Tip: Add pops of color to your letter P by filling in the squares with different colors or using two different colors to create the plaid lines.

How To

Use the black marker to draw the outline of a pineapple shape (think of an egg with the top cut off) onto the white sheet of paper six times. Then have your child draw in the bushy green tops of each pineapple.

Create multiple pineapples of the same size on the yellow sheet of paper and work with your child to cut them all out. Then, write the letters of the alphabet onto the yellow pineapples, putting the letter P onto six of them. Then, ask your child to pick out the letter Ps from the pile and glue them down onto the pineapple outlines, forming bright yellow pineapples!

How To

Draw or print out the outline of the letter P. Then, provide your child with a bowl filled with a variety of different dried pasta shapes. Have your child drizzle glue onto their letter P, and invite them to fill it in with the dried pasta.

Add in some math practice by counting how many of each pasta shape your child used. Or, practice with patterns, as you glue down the first row of pasta and ask your child to fill in the letter P following your pattern.

How To

Trace a letter P onto pink construction paper and have your child cut it out. Glue it down onto another sheet of paper (any color is fine). Use a scissors to cut out two triangles from the pink construction paper and a skinny pink tail. Then, use another piece of paper (or the pink paper) to cut out an oval, forming the pig’s snout.

Have your child assemble the letter P pig, helping as needed. Then ask them to glue all the pieces down. Finally, glue on the googly eyes and use a black marker to finish off the pig’s nose.

Tip: For the pig’s tail, try using a pipe cleaner to add dimension. Or, keep it simple and draw it in with a pink crayon.
