I have been working on letter recognition and letter sounds with my 2.5 year old son. Since it is Thanksgiving this week, I wanted to do an activity with that theme. I decided to make a cornucopia. Cornucopia was the perfect word that has a Thanksgiving theme and a hard C sound. So, I remixed this cornucopia to include the letter C instead of the fruits and vegetables.
C is for Cornucopia
This activity is a really fun way to see all the “C”s it takes to make this activity.
I drew out the cornucopia on brown cardstock. Draw a circle and extend two stretched Cs to complete the cornucopia shape. After that, draw more Cs to make it look like the basket.
Cut out some C in fall themed colors and have your toddler glue them to the circle.
My toddler was very proud of his work. He practiced letter C recognition, learned a complicated word (cornucopia) and got to use a glue stick.
Supplies List:
- Brown Cardstock

Of course, my daughter loves arts and crafts so I made her a cornucopia. She drew out an apple, pumpkin, corn, and other fruits and vegetables and made a cornucopia. She also added real leaves for added artistic fun!
Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving
