We recently discovered that the number one search for children’s arts and craft projects is done by letters. With this newfound knowledge, we are going to share our projects once a month by letter.

Today we are going to make a few craft projects that start with the letter ‘A.’

We thought we would start with a craft project about a very small insect starting with ‘A,’ our Ant craft project.

Ant Craft Project

Supplies:

1. Copy of ant
2. Crayons or Markers
3. Scissors
4. Glue
5. Black yarn

3. Cut out ant parts.
4. Cut black yarn into six 2″ pieces.

Next ‘A’ on our list is an Aztec mask. Your little artists can make and wear their own Aztec masks.

I hope your little artists had fun learning all about the letter ‘A’ with these craft projects. Hopefully they will have just as much fun next month with our projects that will feature the letter ‘B.’

We know that if you made one or all of these ‘A’ projects, you will be telling your little artist, “You’re so creative!”
