About This Project

A 10–15 minutes craft for ages 3–5, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Markers, and Construction Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Football Name Puzzle

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Step 1: Print the Football Template

    May need grown-up help
    Pick a color of construction paper. Print the football template on the paper. You can also draw your own football in the middle of the paper.

    Step 2: Write Your Name

    Write your name in big letters on the football. Make sure there is space between each letter. If you know how to write your name, you can write the letters yourself. You can also color the football if you want.

    Step 3: Cut the Letters

    Ask an adult to help you cut the letters of your name apart. Cut different shapes around each letter.

    Step 4: Make the Puzzle

    Mix up the letters. Put the pieces together to make your name. You can look at a picture of your name to help you. Say each letter out loud as you put it in place. Then, say your whole name.
