Primary TechniquePaper Crafts
Materials List
- Letter A template printed on colored paper
- Alligator teeth template
- Printed letter A’s – or A’s cut out of magazines or foam letters
- 2 white circles (I used a circle punch)
-
green construction paper squares
- black marker
- scissors
- glue stick or bottle
Instructions
-
Apply glue to the letter A. I prefer glue sticks because they’re less messy, but my kids did need to reapply the glue as they worked.
-
Attach green “scales” to create your alligator.
-
Cut out the alligator teeth. Depending on the age/ability of your preschooler, you may need to help with this.
-
Glue the teeth inside the alligator’s mouth.
-
Draw a black circle or oval inside each white circle for the eyes.
-
Feed letter A’s to the alligator by gluing them inside his mouth. You can cut these out of magazines, use stickers, or use the printable.
