If you have been following our post in the past year, you know we have been working our way through the English alphabet with craft projects. We have done the letters A, B and some C. Today we are continuing with the letter C.

Last month our projects for the letter C were carrots, chili peppers, and cherries because last month was International Fruit and Veggies Month. This month we are having fun with caterpillars, cheetahs, and cherry blossoms. We’re teaching our little artist that the letter C can make lots of different sounds.

If you’re looking for more projects for the letter C, please use the search bar at the bottom of any of our pages.

Once your little artists can master building a paper chain, they can make all kinds of fun projects. This caterpillar uses a paper chain to make his body.
