Name Art Ceiling Decor inspired by Deanna Jump:)

Don't you just LOVE Deanna Jump's Name Mosaics from her Literacy and Math Fun with Names Unit?! Well, I combined Deanna's SUPER cute idea and one of mine to make this Name mosaic that you can hang from your ceiling:)

I have always done a little name art activity at the beginning of the year to hang from our ceiling because they look super cute and very colorful. I would use our die cut machine to cut out the letters in everyone's names in rainbow colors. Then I would give each student a clear piece of contact paper. They would just stick the letters in order on the contact paper. Then, I would stick another piece of contact paper on top and trim off the excess contact paper. They were really cute, but a little too easy for my kinders (would be a GREAT Pre-K activity!)
Well, when I bought Deanna's name unit (which is amazing, as usual:) I thought that I could combine the two ideas to make these:

Here are Deanna's adorable name mosaics!!! (Hers are in ROY G BIV order:) I don't know what I was thinking when I prepared mine!?)

I just wrote the letters of their names on the contact paper with different color Sharpies. What a GREAT fine motor and name activity!! Thanks, Deanna!;) If you haven't checked out her Literacy and Math Fun with Names pack, make sure you hop on over to her TPT store and check it out! There are LOTS of wonderful name activities for the beginning of the year!!!!
