Adding Letters to the Coconut Tree

Materials Needed:

Metal tin cans (e.g. coffee, industrial sized fruit/vegetables)

Brown spray paint

Magnetic letters

Foam sheets (green)

Foam balls

Tape (Duck tape works well)

Leaf template

What to Do:

Spray paint the coffee tins and the foam balls brown.

Tape the coffee tins together stacking them one on top of another.

Trace and cut out the leaf template onto the green foam and attach to the top of the tins (if using industrial size cans, you may want to enlarge the palm leaves).

Provide the language center with your coconut tree and magnetic letters.

Invite children to add letters to the coconut tree.
