Decorating Names Activity/Craft

If you have preschoolers, you probably know one of the most important words in the language is their name! This is a fun activity to practice writing their name, identifying the letters in it, and learning how to spell their name! Plus, it's loads of fun for groups of kids, whether or not they already know how to write their name!

We may have a new favorite activity/craft:  decorating names with...cake decorations!!  I'll share the directions for this fun craft/learning activity in one second, but first...

A quick announcement:  My new Hibernation Ebook is available! It has DOZENS of activities to teach all about hibernation--be sure to check it out!! <3 

Now, on to Name Decorating!

Learn to Write Your Name!  

Simple Supplies:

* paper

* markers

* glue (or frosting)

* cake decorations

* aluminum foil

Easy How-To:

1- Prepare the paper by writing (or printing) your preschooler's name in bubble/block letters.  Place a piece of aluminum foil under the paper so it doesn't stick to your table--preschoolers tend to use a lot of glue!

2- Let your child fill in the letters with school glue and pour/shake/sprinkle/place the decorations!  If your child is likely to eat the glue, use frosting instead.  

While my young preschooler worked on his name, his kindergarten sister worked on sight words (printable from The Moffat Girls). 

Everyone had so much fun that they asked to do it again the next day!!  

Do you like hands-on learning activities? Do you have a favorite name-learning activity?  I'd love to see it!     

Happy Educating,
