HOW TO MAKE 3D LETTERS AND SHAPES

HOT GLUE GUN 3D LETTERS AND SHAPES

Learn how to make shapes and drawings come to life! You can turn any drawing into a 3D tangible figure! I’m not going to lie, the letters took a really long time. But, you know when you start something and are already committed, you have to finish. Yep, that’s exactly what happened and I am so glad I did finish them. They came out so cool!

The shapes are just as fun and much less time consuming. Your little ones will be so excited to have their drawings pop off the paper with color! With this hot glue and parchment paper technique you can make anything into a 3D figure!

To make these DIY into a sensory activity just add the 3d shapes and letters into a sensory bin! I used rice, but you can use any other dry sensory base or even make colored rice for a more exciting activity. Ask your little ones to fish for a specific letter or shape to practice the alphabet or fine motor skills!

A cool idea would be to have your kids draw anything and transform their art into 3d shapes!
