Materials: colored construction paper, glue, crayons or markers
- This activity can be as simple or as “fancy” as you like. Give children squares of construction paper (squares can be different colors) and a paper triangle. Have them write a letter of their name on each square of paper.
- On another sheet of construction paper, have children paste the squares in order to spell their name, and then glue the triangle on top. For the bottom, kids can draw or cut out fins (side triangles) if desired, and draw f lames to make their rocket look like it’s blasting off!
- For a fun display, post the rockets on a bulletin board with a dark background. Kids can count whose names have the most and least letters, how many kids have names that start with M, and so on!
