Sure, vultures get a bum rap–but without these guys, our world would be a lot stinkier! Our latest ABC Craft gives an overdue thumbs-up to these dirty-job doers. Thank you, Vultures!
Here’s What You’ll Need
2 sheets of printer paper
Card stock (we used black, white, light pink, dark pink, and sky blue)
Cut out the templates and trace the letter V and the vulture body parts onto card stock.
Cut out the letter V and the vulture body parts.
Attach the letter V to a full sheet of card stock (we used sky blue, but you can use any color you like).
Glue the right and left wings to the letter V.
Affix the vulture’s head to the base of the letter V.
Glue the vulture’s feet, beak, and neck feathers to the vulture’s head.
Affix two googly eyes to the vulture’s head.
Learning with Your Letter V Craft
As you and your child assemble your V Is for Vulture Craft, practice saying /v/–/v/–vulture together. You can find more tips for working on pre-reading skills with your preschooler in this handy download.

Robyn,
I think putting these pages into a book is the perfect thing to do with them. Then, when you finish, your child will have a book that he or she made! If he or she is anything like my children, the book will get a lot of looking through and use over the next year or two!
I love the creativity of these crafts! They have been such a fun way to end our week with the letters we have been working on. Thank you so much for taking the time to create them!
You are welcome, Erica. I love that you are using the crafts as a way to end your week’s study of each letter. That would be a fun way to close up a letter study!
Great ideas I really appreciate the activity ideas cause at time not sure what other activities you can do so thank haven’t not this one yet my kids are going to enjoy this very much thank you.
This is such a fun and creative way to practice letters. It is using both tactile and visual senses, an excellent way to help learners remember what they are learning.
This looks amazing. Thank you even though I think my kiddos are a bit big for learning letters, they always love doing some craft work. This will re-inforce what they should already know.
My boys love these letter crafts and the6 have really helped with letter sounds and recognition. I would love to have the same sort of thing for lowercase letters.
Lauren,
We do have plans for a lower case ABC craft series! However, it won’t be until after the capital series is finished and as of yet we don’t have a set date for them.
However, we do have some ABC activities that do include lower case letters. Check out:
I really love this idea. One of our children has celiac disease. The ideas I’ve seen using cereal or pasta to fill in a letter a is cute but in our house would be very expensive. I think they would have a lot of fun making something like this!
