Fun Craft Flower and Cloud Word-Making

Experimenting with letters and sounds is a fun way to practice phonics and spelling. This Fun Craft Flower and Cloud Word-Making encourage children to be creative and use their literacy skills.

For the Alphabet Petal Word-Making activity you will need:

1. Colored paper, scissors, markers.
2. Cut out a flower with 6 petals. Ensure the center of the petal is large enough to write in the alphabet letters.
3. Write one letter on each petal, including a mix of vowels and consonants. 
4. Ask children to use only those letters to make words. 
5. If they need help visualizing, provide them with wooden/plastic letters that they can manipulate. 
6. As they discover words, they write them in the center of the flower. 
7. How many words were they able to make?
8. What was the longest word? What was the shortest?

We hope that your students will enjoy this Alphabet Petal Word-Making

Another Great Craft Idea – Colorful Cloud

What you’ll need:

• Construction paper – all rainbow colors
• White poster board or lightweight cardboard
• Scissors
• White glue

How to make your Rainbow Cloud Craft:

• Cut the white poster board or cardboard into the shape of a cloud.
• Cut strips of each color of construction paper. Make sure that your strips fit on the cloud you create when they are all put together. We did a couple of runs of this and had to trim the rainbow stripes a bit so they didn’t start to go in a circle around the cloud.
• Glue the strips to make chains and then onto the cloud.
• Cover the cloud shape with glue and spread it around a bit with your finger.
