Learning to spell his or her own name is such a big step for early learners!

As we’re teaching our youngest child to write cursive, even she’s in a hurry to get to all the letters in her name.

There’s no feeling quite like seeing your own name in print.

For a fun fall literacy lesson, I thought it would be cool to make a name building activity – this Name Acorn Necklace Craft!

How to Make a Name Acorn Necklace Craft

Once you’ve printed the cards you need for the child’s name (you may need to print more than one copy), you’re ready to get started.

Making a Name Acorn Necklace

Simply use a hole punch to place a hole at the top of each card.

I like to punch the hole in the top center, so that the cards don’t tilt to one side when worn.

Putting a Name Acorn Necklace Craft Together

Then just string the yarn through each hole. Little ones love this step!

We used a weaving motion so that the cards wouldn’t all flop onto each other when work on the necklace.

This would make a fantastic first day of school activity for students to get to know one another.

(And it’d help you remember everyone’s name too!)

If you’d rather use these cards for other concepts, try adding them to word building centers, spelling lessons, and more.
