Newspaper Clipping Names

     I have an awesome idea to share with you today. It's an activity that will help your kids learn how to spell their names. It's called, "The Newspaper Clipping Names" activity! I have done this particular activity a lot, when I taught preschool. It's a really simple activity to do. All you need are some newspapers, a pair of scissors, a pen or marker, and it wouldn't hurt to have a piece of paper with each child's name written on it. This will help serve as a reminder to your kids, in case they forget what a certain letter looks like. 

     To start, ask your kids to look for letters in their name inside their newspaper. Once they have found a letter, ask them to circle it using their pen or marker. Repeat this until all of the letters have been found.

     When all of the letters have been found, and circled. You and your kids may go through, and cut each letter out. After all of the letters have been cut out, make sure to ask your kids to spell out their name using these newspaper clipping letters.
     Below is my daughter's name made out of her clippings. She had such a great time doing this project that she asked to do it over and over again. Just like my preschoolers that I had taught years before.
