Baker Crafts · Community Helper · Letter B Preschool Lesson Plan Printable Activities

• Print the Baker's Hat Template with instructions. Print on white construction paper or card stock. No coloring required.
• Ahead of time cut strips of white paper 3" to 4" tall to make head bands that are 22 to 24 inches long - the assembled hat will be glued onto the headband. Two bands cut on paper lengthwise is the right size, tape together.
• Cut out the small illustration on the template and set next to the child as a guideline of how the hat looks when assembled.
• The instructions will help you with shape, number and letter B introduction/practice.
• Children and educator can wear the hat during the nursery rhyme reading and other related activities.

• Print out this one puppet template for one child or this two puppet template if many puppets are needed for a larger group. Ideally print on sturdy paper: construction or card stock in a pastel color or light color such as yellow, pink, light orange, so children can use white chalk, pastel or crayons to color the baker's clothing.
• This is a good opportunity for scissor cutting practice along the dashed outline. Provide assistance as needed.
• Letter B practice: You may want to write letter B or Baker on the image prior to distributing, and motivate the children to trace the letter B.
• Glue or tape a Popsicle stick/craft stick or against a toilet paper tube and the children can hold and use during the reading of the nursery rhyme later.
