Name Tree

Leaves were made with each child's name printed onto them. 

In the first week, the children cut around their leaf. The following week they painted white glue onto their initial letter, poured seeds over their leaf and when they shook the seeds off, there was their initial letter, covered with seeds. The leaves were attached to a tree which they had helped to make at the art center.

Literacy, fine motor, and an element of surprise.
