3 letter V crafts for preschoolers, with pictures

1. Letter V vase

The child covers a V with tissue squares as a vase and adds paper stems and flowers rising from it.

You need: white paper, blue and purple tissue paper, green paper, coloured paper, glue

How to make it

1. You cut a large capital V from white paper. Your child glues it on the sheet with the point down and covers it with blue and purple tissue squares.
2. Cut thin green strips and small leaves. Glue the strips rising from inside the V as stems, with a leaf or two on each.
3. Cut flowers from coloured paper, a circle with a smaller circle on top, and glue one at the top of each stem.

2. Vegetable printing

The child dips cut peppers, celery or potato halves in paint and prints patterns and flowers on paper.

You need: 1 sheet of white paper, 1 bell pepper, 1 potato, red and green washable paint, knife

How to make it

1. You cut the pepper and the potato in half.
2. Your child dips the pepper in green paint and presses it on the paper.
3. Dip the potato in red paint and press it too.
4. Keep stamping until the prints are scattered over the sheet.

3. Paper bag valentine holder

The child decorates a paper bag with hearts and stickers and laces yarn through the sides to carry valentines.

You need: 1 brown paper lunch bag, red, pink and purple paper, small heart stickers, 1 piece of red yarn, hole punch, glue

How to make it

1. Lay the bag flat with its plain front facing up and the opening at the top.
2. You cut 3 paper hearts. Your child glues them in a row on the front.
3. Stick small heart stickers around the hearts.
4. Punch 2 holes near the top edge. Thread the yarn through them and knot it at each hole so it makes a handle.

Letter V crafts for 3 year olds

One of these a young three can do almost alone: Vegetable printing. No exact cutting, no small pieces, and the glue stick does the rest.

Vegetable prints, tissue and yarn with a 3 year old

Vegetable printing is the one to start with. Cut a pepper, a celery stalk and a potato in half, pour paint on a plate, and a three year old can stamp alone. Keep a damp cloth close for hands.

The letter V vase works best when you cut the V yourself and let your child do the tissue squares with a glue stick. The flowers rising from the vase can be cut by a five year old or torn by a three year old.

The paper bag valentine holder needs holes punched by an adult. After that, lacing the yarn is good practice for a four year old, and a three year old can decorate the bag with hearts and stickers while you lace.

The vase and the printed paper look good framed together on the fridge. The valentine bag goes to preschool for the class exchange in February.
