Crafty Classroom Ideas for Literacy

Summer is the perfect time to get you crafty on. Today, I created sand tracing trays, talking phones, and pointers. Most of the supplies I had on hand or purchased at the Dollar Store.

I bought sand, a cake pan, and clothespins from the Dollar Tree. The paper, washi tape, and ModPodge, I already had on hand.

First, cut the paper down to fit the paper. Then, attach the paper to the cake pan with ModPodge. Decorate the clothespin with Washi Tape. Hot glue the clothespin to the cake pan to hold letter tracing cards.
I added sand, a paint brush, these letter tracing cards. The cards are available in color or black and white. They are both Print and D’nealian.

I used the same cards to make these glitter glue cards. I printed the cards off on cardstock and colored them myself. Then, I added glitter glue. After the glue dries, students can trace over the letters, following the number direction. You can get these cards HERE.

Fine Motor Cards

Next, I made whisper phones this week. It was really easy. Why did I wait so long?

Shopping List
1. PVC pipe 3/4 inch width
2. PVC elbows 3/4 inch width
3.Decorative tape

I made asked my husband to cut the long pipe into 3 /12 inch long pieces. Then, you can stick the elbows on.Finally, you wrap the tape. I have a secret about the tape. It isn’t washi or duck tape. It is decorative packaging tape. Best part, it is CHEAPER then duck tape or washi tape. In was only $2.50ish and it came with more tape than the $4 duck tape. I bought it at Walmart and they have several different patterns, but this was the only polka dot. I’m hoping to find another polka dot pattern in a different color.

 Finally, I made these cute eye pointers that I have seen all over Pinterest. I found the colored Popsicle sticks at the dollar tree. I lined them up in an assembly line. I added a dot of glue and a little eye. It took all of 2 minutes. I LOVE them! Kids can point to words while they read or look for letters and words around the classroom. They are a classroom hit.
