The Benefits to Making the Letter C Craft
Letter Recognition
When teaching preschoolers about letters, it’s beneficial to teach the letters individually. This letter c craft is a beautiful (and memorable) way to introduce or reinforce each letter.
Letter- Sound Relationship
The cat craft made out of the letter c will help your little one remember that the first sound in cat is one of the sounds we use for c.
These letter crafts create a memory board so preschoolers can visualize and recall what animal the letter was turned into to help remember the sound.
