Alphabet Wall: Making…k is for king

You will need: A large sheet of thick paper, markers, scissors, glue.

1. Measure and fold a 3-layered 2.5 inch thick strip on the longer side of the paper. Cut this out to make the headband for the crown.

2. On the remaining sheet , draw out some block letter k’s.

3. Measure the headband against your child’s head circumference and trim off excess lengths. Glue both ends into place and let dry.

4. Whilst you are taping the two ends together, let your child colour and decorate the k’s on the sheet of paper.

DD decided she would like to trace the letters,a task which I happily left her to do with some measure of independence. In the picture below, you can see the progression from her colouring the letters, to first attempts at tracing and then incremental improvements as she figured out the letter writing strokes. It sure made for an interesting twist on letter tracing activity worksheets! 😀

5. Cut out the completed k’s.
6. Paste the k’s around the headband of the crown as shown in the picture below. You can also cut out some shiny paper to decorate the crown with “gems”. 😉

Related Bible lesson: Wear the crown and pretend to be a king.

Talk about how you both are just playing pretend, but there is one true King who is the King of all kings, and his name is Jesus! 🙂

He is the King of Kings
He is the Lord of Lords
His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Oh, He is the King!
