To help Cakey and Doodles learn the letter D we made Letter D is for Dinosaur and Daisy craft. I really like these kinds of crafts because they help both girls not only learn the letter and something that starts with that letter but the craft allows them to work on learning to use glue neatly. Neatly being the key word. While Cakey is able to use glue by herself she is not always very neat and Doodles is still learning.
The first time Cakey and I did these crafts was in 2014. We are now on our second time going through them (Doodles is on her first time). You can see in the photos at the end a comparison of Cakey’s first time and her second and also Doodles first time. I am hoping to add additional photos when we do our Letter D is for Dinosaur and Daisy craft again next year.
The first time we made this craft I free handed the additional pieces and cut them out from scrap construction paper. This time I created the images and printed them out. You can find the printables for free here Letter D Dinosaur Daisy via Dropbox. In this file you will find a large capital D, a lowercase d, and a page with the head, tail, and spikes for the dinosaur and 2 pages with the petals, pollen center, and leaf for the daisy.
While the girls were working on their letter “D” crafts, I read Dinosaurs Love Underpants and Have You Seen My Dinosaur? from our Tot School Letter D Books list.
