Now, onto my tutorial for the Q is for Queen crown to top off your letter q crafts for preschoolers.
HOW TO MAKE A QUEENS CROWN- NO SEW FELT
You will need:
- Craft felt
- String
- Jewel beads
- Letter beads
- Tacky glue
First, measure your child’s head approximately where you would like the crown to sit with a piece of string.
Cut out two strips of felt about 3” tall, you may need a piece of a third to make it long enough depending on the size of your child’s head.
Use the string to measure out the length of felt that you need.
Lay one piece over top of the other and cut triangular points along the length.
Use letter beads to spell out QUEEN on the front of the crown, repeat each letter as you help your child place it.
Let your child lay their beads in whatever pattern they like around the crown as well as some additional Q letter beads, the more they see and handle the letter the more familiar with it they will become.
Use tacky glue to attach each bead to the felt, you could also use hot glue but this glue allows your child to have ownership in the craft from beginning to end.
Glue the ends of the crown together and allow all the glue to dry completely.
Once ready your child can wear it and practice finding the Q’s on their queen crown.
