Sight Word Crayon Rubbing

I was inspired by the post, "Personalized Leaf Rubbings," at I Can Teach My Child and tried to re-create it; BUT, I didn't read the directions all the way through so it didn't turn out (I didn't face the leaves vein-side up, oops!)  Instead of checking the post again, I decided to change it a bit!  I don't know why I expect Tyler to follow directions when I don't always myself!

I pushed aside all the leaves we had picked up on our nature walk/ ride (I pushed Abby in the stroller and Tyler rode his bike), and decided to use my gazillion "puffy stickers" that I still have from my scrapbook days and spell sight words Tyler has learned. 

Tyler has never done a crayon rubbing activity before, so it was kind of challenging for him because he kept rubbing too hard; thus, the words didn't show up as clearly.  Neverthless, it was a fun activity and we'll do this again!  Great for sight words, word families, name recognition, etc. 

 1. Fill the paper with stickers, spelling sight words.

 2. Let the coloring begin!  Don't color too hard!

3. Ta-da!  Have your child read the sight words as he/she colors them!
