Color-Patch Alphabet

Make a patch of color with Crayola® Color Changeables™. Write a letter with the wand. Surprise! Learning the alphabet and color names go hand in hand.

1. The alphabet is all around. Read books-and you'll see letters. Write lists-words are made with letters. Look at your name-these will be some of your favorite letters. Sing the alphabet song-it's one letter after another. Which letters can you name?

2. Choose a letter you would like to write. Many children like to learn to write their names first. Practice writing a capital letter with your finger in the air, on a table, or in the palm of your hand. Ask a grown-up if you need to know a good way to write the letter. Remember, if you write your name, start with a capital letter and then use lowercase letters.

3. Now select a Crayola Color Changeables marker. Which color did you pick? On white paper, color a big patch with the marker.

4. Use the color changer wand to write a letter on the patch. Surprise! Your letter appears in a new color! What color is it?

5. Write as many letters as you like, using different color patches and the wand.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"My almost-4-year-old is starting to notice letters and words. We take Changeables wherever we go."

Louis Braille introduced the Braille alphabet in France in 1824. This alphabet is designed for people who are blind. Letters are made of a series of raised dots so people can read with their fingers.
