Putting Up Your Letter P Sticky Wall Craft
Contact paper has one side that is very very sticky, so unrolling it and taping it to a wall can be a little tricky. Here’s how I do it:
Step 1
Stick the sticky wall up on the wall using small rolled up pieces of tape in the four corners. Make sure the paper backing side is facing out.
Step 2
Peel the paper backing off to expose one small corner of the sticky paper. Continue peeling the paper backing off until one side is exposed. Tape that side down fully using Painter’s tape. This will ensure that it doesn’t fall down as your child is playing.
Step 3
Slowing peel back the remaining paper backing and tape down the other side.
Step 4 (optional)
Remove the small rolled up pieces of tape from underneath the sticky wall. These rolled up pieces were just there to help you get the sticky wall set up and can be removed once your sticky wall fully up. But if you don’t mind them there you don’t have to remove them.
Making the Letter P Sticky Wall Craft
Grab your black sharpie and write a large uppercase and lowercase P.
Cut black coloured tissue paper into squares and place them into a bowl. Cut out a penguin peak and webbed feet from orange foam sheet or construction paper and wings from black forma sheets or construction paper.
Also cut out ears from what construction paper. Colour in the inner ear with a black marker. Cut out a nose and mouth for the polar bear from black the black foam sheets or construction paper.
Invite your little one to decorate the upper and lower case letters. Add the eyes, beak and feet and wings of the penguin and the eyes and mouth of the polar bear first. Cover the uppercase P with black tissue paper and the “belly” with white cotton pads or cotton balls.
For the lowercase polar bear cover the entire p with white cotton pads or balls.
How to Play
This is a great activity to really talk about the letter p and the sound it makes. Ask your child to think of other words that start with p. Review other words that start with the letter p.
