Bottle Cap Letters {diy}

November 20, 2013 misskindergarten 21 Comments

Make your own bottle cap letters
I have a bottle cap collecting addiction. I admit it. My name is Hadar and I’m addicted to collecting bottle caps!
Make your own bottle cap letters
This is only a portion of my collection!
However, I put them to good use, and I’m saving the environment along the way, so it’s all good, right?!
Most recently I made some bottle cap letters out of my recycled water bottle caps.
They’re perfect for the classroom and add a little pizazz to our word work center!
To make your own bottle cap letters, you will need the following supplies:
*Bottle caps
*Letter stickers
{make sure they fit on your bottle caps…some of my letters hang off a little}
*Mod Podge
*Sponge brush
Make your bottle cap letters in 2 easy steps!
Step 1: Stick the stickers on the bottle caps!
Step 2: Add a layer or two of Mod Podge!
{the Mod Podge helps extend the life of your bottle cap letters a little, but depending on how much use they get, they still only last a few months or so…just make sure you continue to hoard collect bottle caps so you can make more as you need! An alternative is to write each letter on the bottle caps with a permanent maker.}
Your students can use their bottle cap letters to practicing spelling CVC words.
They can also practice building their sight words!

{printable from Tara West}

The possibilities are endless!
Here are some more ways to use bottle caps in your classroom!
Emma from Clever Classroom writes sight words on each cap and has her students build and write the words.

Vanessa from Pre-K Pages has her students practice spelling their names!

Boy Mama Teacher Mama has her students sing their ABCs and find each letter as they go.

I’m working really hard to learn as much as I ca I’m working really hard to learn as much as I can about discrimination and racism and how to help teach my own daughters and my students how to continue making a change and moving in the right direction. I’m still learning. I make mistakes, and I learn more and more every single day. @misselgendy shared this post from @halpey1 and it really resonated with me. I thought it showed a great way to get your students involved in how they can help, not just on MLK day, or during Black History Month, but every day. Sometimes as a teacher and as an “influencer”, I feel pressured to do and say things that I’m not 100% confident with, but I’m learning. Just like I tell my students, continue to learn and continue to try your best. ❤️❤️❤️
