Lowercase l is for Lamp Craft for Preschoolers

Step 1: Gather your supplies

Gather your supplies.

Step 2: Cut out the template

Print out the lamp craft template. Using scissors, carefully cut out each shape. This template will serve as your guide.

Step 3: Trace and cut the shapes

Place the cut-out shapes onto the appropriate colored construction paper. Trace the shapes onto the different colored papers using a pencil or marker.

Step 4: Cut out the shapes

After tracing, use the scissors to cut out the shapes from the construction paper. Make sure to assist your preschooler with cutting if needed for safety.

Step 5: Outline the shapes

With the black marker, outline the edges of each cut-out shape. This step helps to give the lamp craft a more defined and finished look.

Step 6: Build the lamp

Take the brown rectangle cut-out and lay it flat. Explain to your child that this will represent the lowercase ’l’.

Use glue to attach the yellow lampshade to the top of the brown rectangle. Then, glue the yellow base to the bottom. Now, the shape is starting to look like a lamp!

To add a final touch, glue a small yellow piece to the end of a short strip of white paper. This will be the pull for the lamp. Attach it to the side of the lampshade. Once everything is dried hang your lamp up for all to see!
