V Is for Volcano Craft

It’s hard to pass up an ABC Craft that combines earth science, hands-on art, and creative letter-learning all in one, isn’t it? This lowercase V craft is sure to make your little one’s enthusiasm overflow (pun intended ?)!

Here’s What You’ll Need

• 2 sheets of printer paper
• Card stock (we used light blue, dark brown, light brown, yellow, orange, and red)
• V Is for Volcano Craft templates
• Glue stick, pencil, and scissors

Instructions for Assembling Your Lowercase V Craft

1. Print the V Is for Volcano Craft templates.
2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter V and the volcano pieces onto card stock.
3. Cut out the letter V and volcano pieces.
4. Glue the left and right volcano bases to a piece of card stock (we used light blue, but you can use any color you like). The center angles should be nearly touching.
5. Glue the yellow lava piece into the “V” formed by the base pieces.
6. Glue the orange lava piece above the yellow piece, aligning the wavy edges.
7. Glue the red lava piece above the orange piece, aligning the wavy edges.
8. Glue the letter V on top of the volcano pieces as shown on the example.
