Me: “Do you want to do a craft?”

Miss O: “YEAH!!!!”

The magic words. If she’s driving me batty, I just say the magic words and she will sit down and do just about any craft that I come up with. I recently purchased a Cricut Explore Air
which is pretty much the best thing ever. When I need something quick, I cut out the shape of her favourite character/animal/food/etc. and she will colour it all in. I decided to embark on a more educational project in the form of letters turned into fun crafts. These alphabet crafts are a great way to turn learning into fun. 

It only made sense to do A is for Apple. To really get your kids into the craft, start by reading a book that has your subject included. There are a number of books available out there that include apples that your toddler is sure to love.

For this alphabet craft it only seemed fitting to make the A a nice, bright red so it looked just like a fresh, juicy apple. Including a stem with leaf and a little wiggly worm added a nice touch. They are all cut from cardstock using the Cricut Explore Air. The seeds were drawn on with a black marker. 

You can use a Cricut to design your craft or you can simply cut everything by hand. Cardstock is definitely not necessary – construction paper will also work just as well. If you are using your Cricut, I like to use Arial Black as a font. I find it is bold enough for the crafts and is very simple – young children might not understand loopy letters as well as they would a solid, block letter. 

Instead of a worm you could also draw some ants to tie in your letter A even more. Once everything is cut out, simply glue it all onto a piece of white paper!

Have you done a letter A craft like this one? I’d love to hear all about it!
