Make an alphabet project: Letters E, F, G and H

G is for both gold and glitter, so combine the two for a fun, sparkly project. Glitter can be messy, so make sure to cover your work surface with newspaper.  Write a large G on a sheet of paper. Help your child trace the G with glue. Sprinkle gold glitter on top of the glue. Shake off the excess glitter into a container or trash can.Finger paint is a messy, but fun, project for the letter F. Fill a blank sheet of card stock or finger paint paper with a block-style F, and let your child go to town filling it in with finger paint. Try one color or several. You can use store-bought finger paint or homemade finger paint.E is for egg, so use a plastic egg to create your letter E project. Draw a block-style E on a sheet of paper. Give your child half of a plastic Easter egg and tray of washable tempera paint. Your little one can dip the open end of the egg in the paint and use it to stamp circles on the paper. Another idea is to use the whole plastic egg and roll it in the paint, then roll it over the paper.View the list »

  • For a letter H project, draw a block-style H on a sheet of paper. Give your children a heart-shaped rubber stamp and a washable ink pad, so they can stamp hearts all over the letter. Heart stickers would also work instead of stamps. Another idea is to use happy face stamps or stickers to decorate the letter.
