Rocket Name Building Activity for Preschoolers
This rocket name building activity is perfect for any preschooler learning about outer space, and incorporates name recognition, letter recognition, color recognition, artistic expression, and more!
Name recognition is one of my favorite topics to hit with my preschooler. We’ve done a scratch and sniff jello name activity during our 5 senses unit, a pumpkin seed name craft during our pumpkin unit, and lots more!
We practice tracing his name together, and I show him the letters of his name randomly throughout our regular schedule, but I also try to set aside time to make it fun for him.
For our space unit, I added this rocket name building activity for 2 reasons.
- Name recognition (of course). And,
- It took 3 minutes to create!
I simply cut out enough squares of construction paper to write the letters of his name, along with a triangle for the top of the rocket, and a rectangle for the bottom.
