Cereal Name Tracing

Materials needed: Paper plate, glue, q-tips, cereal, and paper.

     Easy and fun for the kids. Write their name on a piece of construction paper. Many of my kids are at different stages when it comes to learning how to write their names. One of our biggest issues with the kids is breaking them of the habit of writing their name is all capital letters. This gave them the opportunity to learn and explore lowercase letters in a less traditional way. 
      First the students would trace the first letter using glue and a q-tip. I encouraged them to hold the q-tip how they would a pencil. Then, they could add the fruit loops along the glue. I made sure they did one letter at a time otherwise the glue would dry too quickly. Most of my kids picked random colors, but a few decided to make patterns. It was really fun for the kids and incredibly simple.
