Find out how to make an alphabet collage using noodles or cereal and construction paper. This is a fun craft and a great way to help kids with letter recognition or even their spelling skills.

  • Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 20 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
NOTE: Just in case you cannot find alphabet cereal or noodles, use these alphabet cereal graphics.

Cut a large circle out of construction paper, any color - this will be the bowl. Cut another circle, about 1/2 inch smaller, out of a light colored piece of paper - this will be the alphabet soup broth. Glue the broth circle into the center of the bowl circle.

Cut a spoon shape using a contrasting piece of construction paper. You can trace a real spoon, draw your own spoon, or use this printable spoon template. Cut out the spoon and glue it onto the bowl.

Now comes the fun part! Use the alphabet cereal or noodles to "write" your name or other words in your soup bowl. Glue the letters in place.
