Today I’m sharing five fun letter J crafts for preschoolers.

Letter J Crafts

We’re putting together a big set of learning activities for letter J, and today I’m sharing our art and craft projects.  We like putting together a set of crafts for each letter of the alphabet, but some letters are harder than others.

Letter J was a toughie!

J is for Jewels

I printed a letter J and gave my boys each a pile of colorful jewels from the craft store.  I put down the globs of glue for my Two.

Jupiter Marble Painting

I printed a giant circle on a piece of paper and put it in a box.  We poured red, yellow, brown, white, and orange paint (the colors of Jupiter) into the box.  Then we tossed in a marble for rolling around.  The idea is that this will create a fun marbled effect.

Personally, I thought this was a pretty cool idea, but my boys weren’t so impressed. My Four decided to use the marble to paint by pushing it around with his hand, resulting in more of a finger painting.  The result was not a cool marbled look, but a big brown splotch.  Totally fine, of course, but not exactly Jupiter-esque.

My Two began the above picture but lost interest after about two seconds. “I want to paint with cars!”  Since I wasn’t ready to start that project this morning, he had a full meltdown.

Maybe you’ll have better success with this one. 😉

Jar Painting

We painted with glass jelly jars.  The boys rolled the jars at first – and were unsatisfied with the effect.  They switched to printing with the mouth of the jar.  I would recommend using a plastic jar.  The jar got kind of slippery when it was covered in paint.  We had a close call or two.

J is for Jellyfish

Did you know I did an entire Letter of the Week craft series at Crystal and Company?  This was our letter J craft.   Get the free printable pattern.

Paper Plate Jellyfish

Check out our fun variety of letter J crafts for preschool!

I cut a paper plate in half, and my Four decorated it with Do-a-Dot markers.  Then we added a line of double stick tape to the back of the plate, and he attached varying lengths of yarn. Of course, googly eyes complement any craft. 😉
