Learn letter sounds using the sense of touch as various textures are captured with crayon rubbings and arranged into alliterative pictures.
1.
Brainstorm a list of words to describe textures. For each adjective, think of things you could find that would demonstrate that texture.
2.
Remove the wrappers from Crayola® Crayons. Take your crayons and construction paper on a texture hunt. Place your paper on top of flat textural materials, such as leaves, floor mats, sandpaper, screens, or bricks. Rub over the paper with the side of a crayon. Capture lots of different surfaces in several different colors.
3.
For each rubbing choose an appropriate texture adjective. Think of a few objects or places that start with the same beginning sound (alliteration) as the texture adjective, such as a Dandelion Dimpled Door or Ridged Roof. See a dictionary for ideas.
4.
Turn your rubbings into the shapes of these items by cutting around them with Crayola Scissors. Mount your rubbing on contrasting colored construction paper with a Crayola Washable Glue Stick. Write your creative new names below each image with Crayola Markers.
