Why Should I Add Their Name to the Craft?

Kids all learn to read and write at different paces. One of the first things they most likely learn to read and write is their own name. You will often see kids writing their names backward or just writing the letters out of order. It takes some time and practice to get the spelling and letters correct.

A craft like the Spring Flowers Name Craft helps kids visualize their names and put the letters in the right order. Have the kids write the letters themselves and then organize them. The activity is the perfect addition to a morning workstation, small group intervention, preschool activity, or craft just for fun.

How To Complete the Spring Craft
