Yesterday I shared with you how we used our pieces of styrofoam for two activities. One was the Letter & Sight Word Pounding activity. The second activity was a bit more creative…we made golf tee and styrofoam paintings!
Here’s what you’ll need: styrofoam, an egg carton, golf tees, and some paint (which we received compliments of CraftProjectIdeas.com)
1. Pour paint into each cup of your egg carton. Use a golf tee for each individual color.
2. Let your child begin making a design in the styrofoam by dipping the tee in the paint and then sticking it into the styrofoam.
Another variation is writing your child’s name on the styrofoam and then having him/her form the letters by dipping the tee in the paint and then onto the styrofoam.
Big Brother made a colorful leaf!

I just discovered your blog and LOVE reading about your fantastic ideas. Now I have to plan some of these activities with my 12 month old. Thanks for sharing!
I love this idea – visual and tactile. What a great way to teach your child the letter in his name! Renee
I am so going to dig up some stryrofoam and have JDaniel try this.
What a clever idea. I would love to try this with my class.
