Who this list is for
This yarn wrapped letter craft supply list is for seven-year-olds wrapping chunky yarn around a large initial or short word shape. Pre-cut cardboard letters help children begin without needing to cut the main form themselves.
How to use this list
Start by assigning each child a pre-cut cardboard letter shape and a cardstock backing sheet. Use pencils, rulers, and fine-tip black markers to plan a name or label. Apply double-sided tape or small amounts of washable tacky glue to secure the first end of chunky yarn. Wrap yarn around the letter, holding loose sections with clothespins as needed. Finish with pom-poms or foam shape stickers.
Common mistakes
Do not cover the entire letter in tacky glue before wrapping; it can become messy and slow to dry. Avoid pulling yarn so tightly that thin cardboard bends. Clothespins are useful for holding yarn ends, not for forcing the yarn into place. Keep wrapping simple around narrow corners and use child-safe scissors only for trimming yarn.

Before you begin
