Letter C Craft: Styrofoam Cup Cat
Letter of the week activities are a fun way for kids to learn their letters. Hands on projects, like the Letter C craft: styrofoam cup cat help solidify letter names and sounds and are fun for kids to make as well. This simple cat craft is made from a Styrofoam cup and is easy for preschool and kindergarten kids to make. Since the cup is open on the bottom, the cat can also be used as a puppet! Kids will love making and playing with this cat craft and they will easily remember the letter C after making this fun activity. Before we begin, I have a great book list for teaching the letter C!
