Toddler Activities for the Letter X

For the letter X, we talked about our BONES and X-Rays. For my two year old, I cut out two bones and had her glue them in the shape of the letter X. For my four year old, I drew a (rough) picture of a skeleton and cut it into pieces for a puzzle:

Materials:

black and white construction paper

scissors

stick glue

Step One: It's been a few weeks since I did this activity with my girls, but I remember that my two year old was on a rampage that morning, so I knew her craft had to be QUICK AND EASY. I cut the bones out of white construction paper and had them ready on black paper for her to glue into place.

She lasted long enough to glue her bones in place to make an "X," but was done before I could catch a picture of her with it.

Step Two: Hazel loved her puzzle. I pulled up a few pictures of a skeleton on google images and drew a skeleton onto white construction paper (if I can do it, so can you). Then I cut the skeleton into sections to create a puzzle for her.

She glued the pieces into place until her skeleton was finished. She was so proud of it that she taped it onto her bedroom door.

These are great activities to get ready for Halloween as well. I can't wait to start Halloween crafts!
