We love to find creative ways to write the alphabet!  Check out the fun my boys had when writing the letter C.

teaching kids to write the letter C - the measured mom

C 11

Here’s a great starter activity for your toddler.  Print a large block letter (get it HERE) and fill it with objects that begin with the letter. We filled the letter C with color tiles.

My Two also enjoys my dot sticker pages.  Check out this post to get your C is for Crab printable.

C 1

Finding household objects to write the straight letters was pretty simple — the curved letters are a little tougher!  My Five turned a pipe cleaner into a C.

C 3

My Five was happy to make a C using crackers.  His older sister asked why we didn’t make a C with cookies.  Nice idea, but cookies don’t last long around me …

C 4

Instead of cookies, I opted for carrot slices.  My Three made this one.

C 5

My Five wrote a C in coffee grounds.

C 6

He got a little fancy when writing in cornmeal!

C 7

My Three completed one of my Level One handwriting pages.

C 8

Then he worked at a Level Two page.

C 10

My Five did this Level 3 page.
