  • Lets make a picture of the letter r!
    You can email it to someone special using ArtBug!


    You will need:
    1. a piece of thick card, I used a cereal box.
    2. black marker pen, crayon or pencil.
    3. scissors and a grown up to do the cutting.
    4. red paint and something to decorate your letters with, I used red tissue paper.
    5. You may like to have a sheet of tissue paper for the scanning part at the end.

    None of the letters are stuck to the tissue paper behind them,
    it's just there for decoration!

    Draw the letters "R" and a "r" like this.
