Letter V Arts and Crafts

Valentines!
Make a Valentine out of red, pink or white paper. Cut out “V” from a newspaper and glue them on the valentine. Find magazine pictures or draw pictures beginning with the “V” sound on the valentine. Have your child label the pictures using “invented spelling” (or correct spelling for older children).

Your child should say the word a few times so he/she can listen to the sound at the beginning, middle and end of the word. Your child should guess how the word is spelled and write his/her letter guesses under each picture.

V is for Velcro
Make two pieces of felt for circle time and put Velcro on them so you can stick the two Vs together. Take it apart and talk about Velcro and the letter “V” during circle time.
Alternately, let children decorate the letter V with Velcro cutouts.

V Collage
Materials:
Purple Construction Paper
Velvet
Glue
Directions:
Cut 1 “V” out of purple construction paper, per child, labeled. Cut velvet into small pieces. Have children glue velvet onto “V”.

Vest Day
Let children who have vests wear them on a designated “vest day”. You could also make vests for the children to decorate from the large size paper shopping bags. You can split them up the middle of a wide side and cut out a circle shape on the bottom of the bag where the neck will go.

Cut holes on each narrow side for the arms to go through. Let the children decorate them with, glitter, ribbon, fabric scraps, vegetable stamping, the possibilities are endless.

Violets
Make violets with tissue paper and construction paper stems and leaves.
