For this activity, Taite folded a piece of paper in half length-wise. She wrote her name in cursive, making sure the letters touched the fold. She is all about writing her name in cursive these days. I helped her because she asked me to help make the letters "correctly".
Next, she made a mirror image of her name on the other side of the paper. She flipped over the paper over, traced her name from the back, then flipped back to the front & traced the mirror image through the paper. I wish I would've had her do her name in marker, but I forgot that little detail. But, it's still fun anyway.
After that, she just took a look at her name & flipped it around different directions until she came up with a way to make her mirrored name into a "creature". Here is her final result....
She told me that they made bugs out of their printed names at the beginning of first grade. That sounds fun, too!
