Silly, Slippery Letters

Why

Create letters with personality! Your Silly Putty® alphabet can be slippery, smooth, and slithery!


Steps

1. Using Crayola Markers, write alphabet letters on white paper.

2. Choose one letter. Think about a feeling, object, or personality trait that begins with that letter. For example, if you choose the letter S you might choose "spotty" or "snaky."

3. Use colored Crayola Silly Putty to form your letter. Make it large enough to add details. With other colors, add details. For example, you might add sneaky eyes or big, bright spots. Create the alphabet, your name, or fun words!
