• - trim green cardboard, or green wool for the tail of carrots (you can also take just a green felt-tip pen);

• - glue stick;

• - a simple pencil, eraser;

• - scissors;

• - felt-tip pen to sign the craft;

• - an orange pencil or felt-tip pen (optional).

Instruction manual

one

Today we are doing an article that will help the child remember how to write the capital letter C. The word “carrot” (“carrot”) begins in English.

You will need a large letter C, cut out of cardboard or colored paper. The size of the letter should be such that it fits on the cardboard of the background, and on top there is a place for a tail. Draw a letter on an orange cardboard and cut it yourself, or entrust the child to cut it.

Let the child slide a finger over the letter, ask him what the letter is. Tell him that the word carrot begins with this letter, which means "carrot." Here we will do it.

Let the child paste the letter on the cardboard background. Help him write the word carrot at the top of the craft. You can complicate the task a bit, and write the phrase "C is for carrot" (C means "carrot"), tell the child that "is for" translates as "means". It is important to write all letters clearly, approximately the same size.

If you can show your child a real carrot, show it and pay attention to the dashes. They can be drawn in the letter with an orange pencil or felt-tip pen. Now make a “tail” of scraps of green thread or paper (paper can be cut into strips and slightly crumpled in your hands, so that it looks like a real tail). Lubricate the upper tip with glue and glue the tail.

You can make another version of the same crafts by making the letter small (but make it better after the capital).

When the craft is ready, ask the child what letter you made and what new word you learned. If the child is not very tired, help him “read” the word. Put the finished craft at the exhibition (you can sign it, it will be even more interesting), and show all family members. Well done, you did a great job.

note

If it’s difficult for a child to write a word, do it yourself and help him “read” the word.
