This duck name craft gives pre-k and kindergarten kids a creative way to practice spelling their name while creating something they can proudly show off.
Children will focus on letter recognition and spelling their names while also strengthening scissor skills and hand control. This project can be completed in about 20 minutes with pre-cut pieces or closer to 40 minutes when kids do the cutting themselves.
We have a free editable template, so each little ducky has their own name printed out on the puddle" player-type="default" override-embed="default"]
