Any craft ideas for preschooler on the letter "U"?

Question

We are working on the letter "U" next week. I try to come up with easy craft ideas for the children. Do you have any ideas? I have umbrella(rainy day picture), under the sea(finger paint picture),and U.S.A flag picture. I really wanted something other than coloring, but that is all I could find.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Show them  a picture of a horseshoe in a position that looks like a letter U. Give them a cardboard shaped liked a horseshoe and have them design it.

Answer 3

for under the sea they could use fish shaped sponges and paint,

for USA flag, you can give them felt stripes and those foam sticker stars.

for umbrella, you could have them work together to decorate a giant umbrella and sing songs about the rain

print off a giant bubble letter U for each student. Let them glue  or stick unicorns, unicycles, umbrellas, and underwear (this one might be iffy depending on the school)

do a baseball theme one day and use an umpire for something--this could be your coloring day

That'll take your five days! I used to teach preschool, so I know how this can be...U is a hard one!

Answer 4

Answer 9

Unusual items (anything that is unusual), University (graduate photos), Universe (Global picture), United (hand-in-hand picture), Useful things (cars, recycle bags). Have fun!

Answer 10

the letter "U" looks like a smile. Cut circles and create smiles on the faces

Answer 11

You could have pre-cut U's and some sort of stick (a popsicle stick, maybe?) and have them decorate the U with bingo markers or paint.

Attach the stick to the upside down U and you have an umbrella!

Answer 12

Universe---show the planets

Union Pacific Railroad--dress up like engineers and play train songs, with wooden train whistles, percussion instruments for rythmic train sounds of an engine.

University Day---have children wear t-shirts from favorite colleges. Also, talk about higher edUcation.
