Create a Crossword Puzzle
Looking for a nifty way to review spelling words? Kids create their own crossword puzzles with a colorful twist using Crayola® MiniStampers.
1. Cut one-inch squares from a recycled cereal box with Crayola Scissors. Use Crayola Fine Line Markers to write the letters for each spelling word (or other words) on the square tiles. Make each word a different color.
2. Arrange the tiles on construction paper so the words overlap where they have a common letter. Trace around the letter tiles of one word at a time with marker. Remove the tile after tracing.
3. Choose a Crayola MiniStamper to stamp in the top corner of the first letter of each word. Create a clue to go with each word and write it at the bottom of the paper behind the matching stamp.
4. Save the letter tiles to make more crossword puzzles. Share your puzzle with a friend or family member and be sure to check the answers!
