Using crafts is a wonderful way to introduce new concepts, like colors, shapes, numbers and letters, to little ones. Crafts engage all of the senses, which increases the opportunities for learning and the ability to retain the knowledge. These letter P crafts are a few ideas that you can use for presenting how the letter P looks, sounds and is written. This can apply to either the uppercase ‘P’ or lowercase ‘p’.

Letter P Crafts Ideas
P is for Panda
Making this panda craft will take a little bit of prep when you’re going to make it with preschoolers. Precut the parts and also precut the circle out the panda’s tummy to make crafting easier and more age appropriate. The assembly and lacing can all be accomplished by preschoolers.

When making this adorable panda craft with preschoolers, it’s best to prep the popsicle stick base (either with the preschoolers help or not) the day before so that the glue has time to dry. The other option is to use glue dots for assembly instead. These do not require dry time. The parts for this guy are small and should be cut out ahead of time. You preschooler will love wrapping the yarn and assembling the this panda craft. Get the full tutorial and free template HERE.
I love using recycled newspaper for crafts, and this panda turned out so cute. Your preschooler will love tearing the newspaper that goes inside and crumpling it into balls. If they have not yet mastered cutting shapes, precut the parts for your panda craft. You’ll find the full tutorial and free template HERE.
It was so much fun when Gabby came by the studio to help me demonstrate how to make this fun newspaper panda craft.
P is for Pizza
Who doesn’t love pizza? This simple pizza craft is also a pouch that your little ones can carry around their treasures in. Your preschooler can add their favorite toppings. Learn how to make this pizza craft HERE.
P is for Pig
If you really don’t want to get out the paint for this pig craft, use crayons instead. He goes together quickly and easily. You may want to precut the ears since that can be a little challenging. Also, the legs and nose can be precut if your child’s scissors skills are not yet this advanced. To learn how to make this pig craft and get the free template go HERE.
To make crafting easier, make the popsicle stick triangle the day before and give it time to dry overnight. Or use glue dots instead since they don’t require drying time. To learn how to make this pig craft and get the free template go HERE.

Both Peppa and Pig start with P! So this is a perfect preschool craft to introduce the letter P. Precut the parts to make crafting easier. Covering the paper plate in tissue paper squares is great for fine motor practice too. Get the full tutorial and free template HERE.
P is for Peas
These adorable peas in a pod are the perfect letter P craft. Write the letter P on the front of the pod or sight words that start with P. We made ours from construction paper (because that’s what we have in our bag), but you can also choose to make these from felt. Just use fabrice glue to hold it together.

P is for Platypus
Newspaper crafts are so much fun. To make this platypus crafts with preschoolers, precut the parts, including the newspaper body. They will also need some help with assembly but will be so proud of what they make. Get the full tutorial and free template HERE.
P is for Pineapple
To make this craft doable in one sitting, create the popsicle stick triangle the day before so that the glue has time to dry. And, to be honest, sometimes the pipe cleaner top just does not want to stay put with glue. If this is happening, change to cutting a topper from green construction paper and glue it in place instead. Placing the tissue paper pieces is a great fine motor activity. You can find the tutorial HERE.
P is for Pear
This super simple pear craft goes together quickly. If you don’t want to use paint, just use crayons, markers or paint sticks for the popsicle sticks instead. For easier crafting and no wait time, assemble the triangle the day before so that the glue can dry overnight. Check out the full tutorial HERE.

This possum is totally adorable, but will take a little bit of prep to be made by a preschooler. Precut the pieces, and you may even want to fold the body ahead of time depending on your child’s skill level. Get the tutorial and free template HERE.
My favorite part of this sweet possum craft is the little baby joey on his back. This will definitely need to be precut for preschoolers. You will also want to go ahead and precut all of the pieces for this possum craft. And if you don’t want to get the paint out, just use crayons instead.

P is for Police
At first glance this craft may look a little more complex, but all you really need to do is paint some stripes, stuff and fold the paper bag and then glue on the parts. If you don’t want the messiness of paint, just use markers or crayons instead. Check out the full tutorial and free craft template HERE.
Now that you have some ideas for letter P crafts, you can make them extra special by adding a cut out letter P to any of the projects. For example, you may want to put a big cut out letter on the back of the platypus or on the back of the pandas. And here is a bonus craft to try…Puzzle starts with P, and these name puzzles are a simple and fun craft to make.
