Have you seen my Letter X book list, X-ray light box, and Letter X rhymes?  It’s a tough letter, but we’re almost done!  Here are five Letter X crafts.

Check out this post for 5 fun letter X crafts!

5 Letter X Crafts

Handprint X-Ray Fish

These x-ray fish are my favorite. After letting our black handprints dry overnight, the kids added fish bones and a googly eye.  For this and many more handprint alphabet crafts, visit Red Ted Art.

Q-Tip X-Ray

Q-tip X-ray letter X

This is a popular children’s craft which would look a little better with plain white Q-tips.  But since they’ve started telling us not to put Q-tips into our kids’ ears, I wasn’t going to go out and buy a box.  The blue ones in our craft drawer worked just fine.  This idea is from Inspired Montessori.

X is for Xylophone (foam craft)

 Here’s a fun way to use craft foam, but construction paper works fine too.  I saw a similar idea at Rockabye Butterfly. 

paper bone letter X

I saw this idea over at No Time for Flashcards.  My Three did this one – but if you provide more guidance it’s a great craft for toddlers.  Check this link to see how.

X is for Xylophone (paper craft)

A cute idea we saw on Pinterest – my Three liked assembling the xylophone. We used round office stickers for the mallets.  The idea is from The Princess and the Tot.

    X is my toddler’s favorite letter. He loves pointing it out everywhere he sees it. These would be fun for him to do. Pinned to our Artsy Play Wednesday group board.

      That’s fun that he can point to X wherever he goes 🙂 it’s neat to see what our kids latch onto.
