Name Letters - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Great personalised craft activity

Material

1 A4 cardboard per letter in name
1 pair scissors
paint (numerous colours)
1 marker

Method

Draw with marker the letters of your child's name on the cardboard. Cut out.
Decide what each letter will represent. ie. P is purple polka dots, E is elephant and R is rainbow.
Paint each letter with your idea. Use a marker to outline any smaller objects like the elephant.

Notes

This is part of my son Cooper's name. The C is a cow, the O's are octopus and orange. You can create whatever you like based on your child's interest. We used these initially at his naming day, now they are stuck on his bedroom wall.

This is such a clever idea, for so many reasons. Great to get a child involved in making something, doesn’t cost a lot, good for teaching the child their name, and a very personal decoration for the child’s room.
