Letter P Craft How To
1. Grab and print the peacock craft printable.
2. Color in the P, the feathers, and the beak. Have your little one trace the letters in the word ‘peacock.’
3. Have your little one cut out the letter P. If possible, have them continue to cut out the other pieces. Cut out the pieces if it’s too much (or your little isn’t ready to cut just yet).
Trim off the extra paper from the edges of the word ‘peacock. ‘
4. Place the paper so the long sides go up and down.
5. Have your little one find the word ‘peacock’ and glue it on the very bottom of the page.
6. Encourage your little one to find the letter P and glue it down in the middle of the page.
7. Glue the tail feathers to the left side of the letter P. Tuck the tip of the cluster of feathers under the straight edge of the letter P.
8. Add the beak to the right side of the bubble part of the letter P. The curved part should be touching the P.
9. Put the eye on the letter P slightly to the left of the beak.
