Print off the Self-Portrait template on white card stock.

       Print It!    

Next, explain to the children what a self-portrait is.

Then, when ready, have the children go wild creating their “self-portrait.”  What makes this All About Me activity so much fun is all the accessories the kids get to work with!

And, voila, the children have now made a self-portrait that hopefully reminds them how special and unique they are. Feel free to hang them all on a wall or allow the children to take them home to show their parents.

This All About Me craft is also perfect for a back-to-school theme unit for preschool and kindergarten children.

Dr. Seuss’s ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! by Dr. Seuss is a wonderful book to read to children when teaching them the alphabet. And, there are so many fun alphabet letter activities to go along with the book, like this Alphabet Letter D is for Dragon craft!

While the kids are working on their Alphabet Letter Dragon craft, play The Letter D song for kids in the background. Music makes alphabet-learning fun!

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make an alphabet letter D dragon with the kids!

Craft items you need:

• Construction paper (green, light green and orange)
• Googly eyes
• Tissue paper (red)
• Scissors
• Glue

What you do:

Print off the Letter D on green construction paper, for each child.

       Print It!    

These will be the scales.

Once done, have the children glue the orange triangles to the back side of the Letter.

Using the light green construction paper, have the children cut out a small circle.

This will be the dragon’s eye.

Have the children glue the small green circle at the top (right) of the Letter D.

Next, have the children glue the googly eye on top of the small green circle.

Then, have the children cut out a small strip from the red tissue paper.

This will be the dragon’s fire.

Have the children take the small red strip and fold it in half, crinkle it a bit and then glue it to the Letter D, just below the eye (where a mouth would go).

And, voila, the children now have a Letter D Fire Breathing Dragon!
