Crafts & Activities

Prop Box Idea for the Letter Ll = Kitchen
Fill the prop box with items that are found in a kitchen. You can add play utensils, food boxes, plates, etc. Children can set the table and prepare meals.

Food
Lemons, Limes, Licorice
Animals, Insects & Birds
Lion, Lambs, Leopards, Lizards, Ladybugs
Miscellaneous
Letters, lamp, and lights

Recognizing the Letter "Ll"
Introduce the letter "Ll" to the children by showing them the printed lower and upper case L. Have letter Ll's hidden in the room and let the children find them. Sound out the letter Ll and words that begin with the letter.

Ladybug Potato Prints
Draw some black spots on a piece of construction paper with a black crayon. Cut a potato in half and dip half in red paint. Stamp potato over the black spots and let dry. The crayon resists the paint and makes a cute ladybug.

Lion Faces
Paint a paper plate yellow or tan. Cut (or have children cut) several 2 x 3 (approximate) inch strips of orange or brown construction paper. Glue strips of paper all around the plate to make the lion's mane. Draw on a face with marker. You can also do this with yarn around the face, but it is more difficult for younger children to manage. You could also cut out the eye holes, staple on a Popsicle stick handle, and use it as a mask.

Fingerprint Ladybugs
Cut out a large leaf from green construction paper. Dip fingertip into red paint and stamp the leaf. Let dry. Draw in spots with marker. You can also do this idea by gluing strips of green construction paper onto another piece of white construction paper to resemble blades of grass. Then stamp fingerprints.
