Make a Name Plate

What You Need:

• Cardboard
• Permanent marker
• Glue
• Dried lentils, birdseed, confetti, or glitter
• Hole punch
• Ribbon

What You Do:

1. Cut out a piece of cardboard about nine or ten inches long and four inches wide. Note: The length of the cardboard can be customized depending on the length of your child's name. If their name is very long, you might want to consider using a nickname.
2. Write your child's name in big bubble letters on the cardboard, leaving a little space between each letter.
3. Ask your child to fill in the letters completely with glue.
4. Have them choose between lentils, birdseed, confetti, or glitter, and then invite them to sprinkle it all over the glue, covering the letters completely to add texture. Let dry.
5. Shake off the extra materials over a waste basket.
6. Use the hole punch to make two holes in the top two corners of the cardboard.
7. Tie a ribbon through the holes and hang it on your child's door, so everyone knows whose room it is!
