Toddler Letters – “T” is for “Thunder Storm”

Supplies Needed:

  • Black Craft Paper
  • Yellow Craft Paper
  • Letter “T” Cutout
  • Black Paint (I used washable finger paint)
  • Cotton Balls
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Markers

Set Up:

We started by taking a cotton ball and dipping it into our black paint, then we twisted the cotton ball across our letter “T” in an attempt to make dark swirling thunder clouds.  While we waited for our “T” to dry I cut our yellow paper into zigzags (Lightning Bolts) and we glued them to our paper.  Once our T’s were dry we ended up having to press them between a few hard books to flatten them out, then we glued them to our black paper to finish.

After our craft we talked about different kinds of weather, rain, snow, thunder/lightening, fog, sun etc.
