Sun Name Craft
This sun name craft is a fun and educational way for young children to practice important early learning skills. As kids write one letter of their name on each sun ray, they’re working on letter recognition, name spelling, and fine motor development—all through play.
This name craft is a perfect activity for sunny summer days, whether you’re at home, in the classroom, or running a summer camp. Kids will love the bright, cheerful design, and grown-ups will love how easy it is to prep using our free printable template.
I’m so excited to add this sun name craft to our growing collection of screen-free summer crafts for kids. It’s a simple, hands-on project that encourages creativity and learning all season long!
Supplies
- Sun Template – Grab the free PDF printable at the bottom of this post.
- Cardstock – One sheet each of yellow and orange for the sun and its rays.
- Scissors – For cutting out the sun and rays.
- Glue – To attach the rays to the sun.
- Black Marker or Sharpie – For writing one letter of your child’s name on each sun ray.
Instructions
Step 1: Print the free sun name craft template on cardstock. Print the first page on yellow cardstock and the second page on orange. Feel free to switch up the colors if you’d like—any bright, sunny combo will look great!
Step 2: Carefully cut out all the pieces, including the sun, sun rays, and sunglasses.
Step 3: Use a small amount of glue to attach the rays around the sun. We used 16 rays, but you can use more or fewer depending on the length of your child’s name (or how sunny you want it to look!).
Step 4: Glue the sunglasses onto the sun’s face, then use a black marker or Sharpie to draw a fun smile or smirk.
Step 5: Write one letter of your child’s name on each ray using the marker.
