The X-ray fish may think he’s pretty clever, but we can see right through him. Make no bones about it—there’s no need to don your Super-Duper X-Ray Goggles for this ABC Letter Craft!

Here’s What You’ll Need

  • 2 sheets of printer paper
  • Card stock (we used dark blue, medium blue, white, and sky blue)
  • X Is for X-ray Fish Craft templates
  • 1 “googly” eye
  • Glue stick
  • Pencil and marker

Instructions for Assembling Your Letter X Craft

  1. Print the X Is for X-ray Fish Craft templates.
  2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter X and the X-ray fish and skeleton bones onto card stock.
  3. Cut out the letter X, the X-ray fish, and the skeleton bones.
  4. Glue the bones to the fish to form a skeleton.
  5. Attach the fish to a full sheet of card stock (we used sky blue, but you can use any color you like).

Learning with Your Letter X Craft

As you and your child assemble your X Is for X-ray Fish Craft, practice saying /ks/–/ks/–box together. (The most common sound of X is /ks/ as in box, fox, and ax.) You can find more tips for working on pre-reading skills with your preschooler in this handy download.
