Helping your child make their name out of the alphabet gives them the opportunity to see the letters at work in a very personal way! Place letter stickers, cut out letter, or magnetic letters in the coconuts at the top of the tree to spell their name. (Or just write the letters in the coconuts by hand) Then let them write it below on the line. (If they need a little extra help, you can write it lightly or in dashed lines for them to trace.)
You can use the printable tree and letters above to color, cut out, and tape the letters onto the coconut tree. Or follow the instructions below to build your own coconut tree and use magnetic letters for a science magnetism activity and a fun math activity. Download the instructions and leaf template with the science and math activity below.
