The Steps

We want to see your craft! Click PHOTO SUBMISSION, then submit the photo.

NOTE: We started online schooling about two weeks ago, and need a specified area to work on homework. We’ve got new teachers, subjects, and glitches that come with it. But, we’re choosing a CAN DO attitude and lots of grace.

This year, the older kids have a spot in the dining room, and Micah has a little corner to himself. It’s made a big difference in everyone’s attitude and output. Thanks to a recent 1st-grade assignment, it gave us the inspiration for today’s craft.

PREP

Cut the cardboard down to the size needed.
Paint the cardboard in your color of choice and let it dry for about five minutes. (Optional: lay down a table cover/newspaper to protect your workspace.)

NAME

Use a pencil to write the name out.
Gather all your buttons or beads, pasta, bottle caps, seashells, etc.
This is a great opportunity for your little one to decide on individual colors for each letter, choose a certain size or direction of the item, etc. It’ll give them sorting practice.
Go over one letter at a time with the glue.

I have a LOT of buttons, they were passed on from my Grama B, and some I collected over the years.
Micah chose the blues and greens. He also chose Mom and Naomi to complete this without him. It was too similar to the homework he was assigned LOL = )
