y for yacht craft

Y is for Yacht Art and Craft

• December 17, 2019

I know your young learners are yearning to master the letter Y. Here is a preschool art that will help your little one master this letter in no time- Y is for Yacht Art and Craft Activity!

I think it’s important for children to be exposed to a lot of words, even the uncommon ones so they can have a rich vocabulary. 

Like in the case of boats. We always use boat as an example of a word that begins with b. Children are very familiar with it and they can talk extensively about it. 

Since my preschoolers already know so much about boats, I decided to add more to their word bank by introducing other water transportation words. 

With fun videos and pictures, I was able to catch their interest and attention.  And so they learned more words. 

It’s very rewarding to hear them use the words outside of the classroom in a more casual and personal context. For me, it means that they’re really learning. 

As always, I came up with an art activity for further help them remember the words they’ve just learned. In this instance, I focused on the word yacht. 

This alphabet activity not only helps them in remembering the new vocabulary word but it’s also great for reviewing letter sound. It also targets the following learning objectives:

• Master the letter Y through a visual cue (image of a yacht) and an auditory cue (beginning sound of the word yacht)
• Develop fine motor skills
• Foster creativity and imagination

You might also like Y is for Yo-yo Paper Pasting Activity.

• yellow art paper
• Green art paper
• Blue art paper

Directions:

• Draw and cut an outline of the letter Y on a yellow art paper.
• Cut pieces for the sail and hull. 
• Glue the pieces together. 

Teacher’s Note: Add to your child’s vocabulary by exposing him even to uncommon words.

Y is for yacht handprint art

Yacht handprint art is particularly appealing because it allows children to see the direct connection between the abstract shape of the letter ‘Y’ and a tangible object in the world, such as a yacht.

This type of visual and tactile learning can be highly effective in helping children remember letters and words, thereby enhancing their early literacy skills. Plus, it’s a fantastic way for kids to personalize their learning journey with their unique handprint, making the experience more memorable and enjoyable.

This free printable letter y handprint template is free to print but is for personal or classroom use only. Scroll to the bottom of the page to get the pdf file.

Supplies needed

• washable paints
• Wipes!! It helps to have these handy so you don’t make a complete mess of your table!

Print out the template below, it will print out on one full page. Make sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your emails within 5 minutes.

You can of course print this on normal printer paper, but with all of our crafts, they always look better on  cardstock .

Let the kids decide what color handprint they want to use, we have chosen to use blue for the sail of our yacht.

Use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of paint to their hand. Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Place their hand with their fingers pointing upwards with their palm starting at the yacht and going through the sail. Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull your child’s hand off really gently to avoid any smudges.

Let the paint dry completely before coloring in the letter Y and the yacht.

The most important thing though is just to have fun with this handprint art!

8 Uppercase Letter “Y” Crafts

If you prefer your little one to exercise independence, I highly recommend they use safety scissors .

And while a lot of online craft tutorials provide templates, here are some free letter “Y” templates I found!

1. “Y is for Yak” Craft

Yaks are a type of cattle usually found in the Himlayan region that have THREE TIMES the lung capacity of a cow!

Teach your kids about the different types of animals in the world, such as this horned and hairy one, with this simple and fun yak craft by Miss Danielle that only requires basic crafting materials already found in your home or classroom.

2. “Y is for Yarn” Craft

Yarn is a safe material used in various crafts for young children. Here’s a quick yarn craft you can do by Fantastic Fun and Learning to teach kids not just about the letter “Y,” but also about word association!

There’s no need to run to the store for special materials for this craft, either, because you probably already have everything you need at home.

3. “Y is for Yellow” Sponge Stamping Art

From sunflowers to mustard, there are a lot of yellow things in the world. Teach kids about the letter “Y,” and the color that begins with this letter, with this sponge stamping activity from Woo Jr. .

For this project, you’re going to need a few more specialized materials, such as a craft knife and craft paint (also known as tempera paint ), in order to get the perfect capital Y shape.

4. “Y is for Yellow” Craft

Can be done by: Preschoolers

This is a simple color yellow craft from The Kindergarten Connection that teaches kids about upper and lowercase “Y.”

The only materials besides basic craft supplies that are needed for this activity are pom poms and other small yellow things you can find around the house to glue onto the letter, such as foam shapes and stickers.

5. “Y is for Yellow Yacht” Craft

Hit “two words with one stone” (ehhh, get it?) with this color yellow yacht craft courtesy of I Wonder Bee that incorporates the letter “Y” as part of the boat!

Now, while you may have popsicle sticks , scissors, glue, and construction, tissue, and crepe paper laying around the house, you may need to invest in the art block sheet this craft calls for.

6. “Y is for Yeti” Craft

From Himalayan folklore, Home with Hollie brings the mythical yeti to life in a fairly simple craft kids can do at home.

To make this cute creature, you’ll need construction paper, scissors, glue, googly eyes , and a pencil or black marker.

7. “Y is for Yo-Yo” Craft

Here’s some yo-yo trivia for ya: the term “yo-yo” comes from a Tagalog word which means “come back.” Yo-yos are also considered to have been popularized in the U.S. by a Filipino businessman named Pedro Flores.

Kids can make this really easy and interactive yo-yo craft from All Kids Network with a few simple craft supplies and the template available on the tutorials site. Fair warning: you’ll need to create an account and log in to download it.

8. Origami Uppercase Letter “Y”

It’s never too early to start learning how to fold, so grab a piece of paper and teach your kids how to fold it into an uppercase letter “Y” using this tutorial from Origami Humpy.

If you don’t have origami paper available, it’s okay for little hands to use regular-sized sheets of paper to make folds a bit easier. And remember, a grown-up can help with complex folds.

7 Lowercase Letter “y” Crafts

9. “y is for yak” craft.

The yak is back! This time it’s in the form of a lowercase letter “y” courtesy of CreativeTrades. I love this craft because all that’s needed are basic materials such as construction paper, markers, scissors, and glue.

This activity also helps promote creativity because kids can draw the yak’s face however they want!

10. “y is for Yarn” Craft

11. “y is for Yacht” Craft

Here’s a simple and easy yacht craft from creator Tazz that not only teaches kids about the letter “y,” but also about shapes and sound.

This craft is SO easy, it only requires construction paper, scissors, and glue – that’s it . You could get started right now!

12. “y is for Yo-Yo” Craft

A fun fact about yo-yos is that their existence dates back to ancient Greece , evidenced by a vase that shows a boy playing with a yo-yo!

While this yo-yo craft from Miss Sarah won’t transport you back to 5th century B.C. Greece, kids will still have fun making it using string, glue, scissors, a marker, a cup, and construction paper.

13. Curvy “y is for Yo-Yo” Craft

As we all know, there are two ways to depict lowercase “y” – with straight or curvy lines – so it’s only fair that we show kids every way to write the letter.

All About Learning Press shares their own yo-yo craft using a curvy version of the letter “y” and some pretty basic craft materials.

And the great thing about this activity is that a nifty template is available!

14. “y is for Yardstick” Craft

Here’s a great letter “y” craft from Totally Tots that will help you teach kids about basic units of measurement.

This very simple and easy-to-do yardstick craft only requires materials that are probably already found in your home (with the exception of craft foam ).

17. Cupcake Liner Yo-Yo Craft

While making an actual yo-yo might be a bit too advanced for the little ones, here’s a really easy-to-do yo-yo craft that replicates this popular toy.

Activities for the Letter Y

July 22, 2014 by OneMommy

If you are a regular reader here, you know we’ve been doing a vehicle alphabet series .

We have just two letters left!   Today it’s time for activities for the letter Y!

The day we did our letter Y activities I used sidewalk chalk to write the letter Y, along with a few other random letters, around the outside of the house.

After breakfast the kids went on a “Y” hunt!

To make it more challenging for my 6 year-old I wrote several words that use the letter “Y” and asked her to read them when we found them.   (I used the words “you,” “yes,” “yellow,” “by,” and “why” which are all words she learned this year in kindergarten.

As she read the words we talked about the sounds the letter “Y” makes.  The 5 year-old had fun practicing the “Y” sounds.

We had one other activity to get us moving and learning outside… a letter “Y” hopscotch!

The idea was to only jump on the letter Y, avoiding any other letters.  I quickly found that they are really good at this!

When we went inside the 5 year-old worked on writing capital and lower-case “Y” with this l etter Y worksheet .  

They both colored  some yacht coloring sheets I found online.  (After all, sticking with the vehicle-theme, “Y is for yacht!”)

And then it was time to build our own yachts!

We used a block of styrofoam that I cut ahead of time to make the boat’s hull.  (If you have to cut it, i suggest doing it outside!)

For the masts we used drinking straws.  Use a pencil tip to poke a hole in the styrofoam; it makes it easier to push the straw into place!

Then we added colorful paper sails and our yachts were ready to sail!

February 18, 2024 //  by  Sharayah Lynn Grattan

We are coming close to the end of our alphabet lessons with the amazing letter “Y”.

Learning the alphabet and colors happens around the same age, so it makes sense to talk about yellow when learning the letter “Y”.

Love doing these with my boys

I can’t wait to try Y is for yak

This is a cute project I don’t quicklybthrow away! ;)

Quickly throw*

Sara, We’re happy to hear that this craft results in something that is kept for a while. We didn’t want to create something that would be quickly tossed.

Seems like a good way to do spelling.

Yes! Thank you!

Jaci Cathcart

Cute idea for my preschooler!

My kids love to do these letter crafts.

Thank-you for all your wonderful ideas!

We love doing your letter crafts. My 4yo begs to do them each week.

Kim, We love hearing that little ones are enjoying our crafts! It makes it all worth it!

Mary Esther

I appreciate all the ideas and crafts! I am just starting to take my preschool son through the alphabet in Letter a Week fashion and am looking for lots of ideas.

Mary, You can access the entire alphabet of ABC Animal Crafts from this page . In addition, we have many other games and activities for learning letters that your child may enjoy here.

Kristen Walker

This looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the idea!

We haven’t started these crafts yet but I plan to. Should I go back and start in alphabetical order or can I dive in with this one?

Lindy, That is up to you! It can be helpful to go through it alphabetically, to reinforce alphabetical order and take advantage of the Alphabet Song. However, you can still sing the Alphabet Song no matter what order you do the crafts and there are many ways to work on alphabetical order.

If you haven’t seen it already, here is the link to the entire alphabet ABC Animal Crafts .

What a cute idea to try and practice many skills at the same time. Thanks!

Thank you for all the craft ideas and free downloads!

This looks perfect for my 5 year old. He loves making crafts.

I love you ideas. Your organized learning programs are so easy for mom’s to use. Thank you!

Love these simple ideas

I love letter crafts when teaching the alphabet!

We have absolutely LOVED these alphabet crafts. Great for that tactile experience.

Penny, We love that you have loved these! It’s great to hear that these crafts have been enjoyed.

We are about to cover Y in the AAR pre-reading level. This is perfect!

Great timing, Jamie. We hope you enjoy this craft!

My little people are loving these letter crafts. Thanks!

I love this heads on activity!

Kris, We understood what you meant, but it’s kind of a funny typo considering this craft makes a yak’s head out of the letter Y. :D

Thank you for these wonderful blog posts! these are a great addition to what we are doing in our newly aquired AAR program.

Daniele, You can access the complete alphabet of ABC animal crafts from this page .

Great way to learn letters.

We’ve been enjoying making all of these letters. They’re so cute!

Thank you for letting us know you have been enjoying these ABC animal crafts, Amanda! Only one left.
