Earth Name Activity

Your kids will love this fun paper craft where they use their scissor skills and fine motor skills to create the land and sea of the Earth.

Kids will then use their letter recognition skills to arrange the lettered hearts in the right order to spell out their names.

If they’re using blank hearts instead, they’ll practice their handwriting skills by writing the letters in their names onto the hearts.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crayons or markers (if using color in version)
• Earth template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the Earth template, edit it to add your child(ren’s) name, print, and cut out the pieces.

Begin by lining up the left land mass with the left side of the Earth, then glue it in place.

Line up the right land mass with the right side of the Earth and glue it down to secure it.

Take the smallest land mass and glue it to the right side of the Earth, slightly below the last land mass you glued down.

Glue the completed Earth to a piece of colored paper.

Finish up by spelling out the child’s name in heart letters along the bottom of the Earth.

This simple name craft is a great April activity for kids to do! Try it out today.
