TH Digraph Flower Craft

Enhance the teaching and learning of the digraph TH with our unique and interactive flower craft activity. This educational tool is designed to facilitate the understanding and recognition of words containing the digraph TH sound with common, easy to recognise images. The digraph contains images for the sound appearing at the beginning of the word and at the end of a word.

Our resource contains two different TH flower templates to practise beginning digraphs and ending digraphs.

What's Included:

• There are 2 craft templates with pictures and words to simply create a flower by cutting the pieces apart and gluing them onto construction paper.

• There are 2 craft templates where students will read each word and match the word to the correct petal picture to create a flower. This activity requires students to already have some knowledge of the TH sound and how to read simple words.

By having various craft templates, teachers can differentiate this craft for each student.

Utilising this Resource:

• Simply print the flower templates, and then allow the students to colour, cut out, and assemble into a flower on coloured construction paper.

• You can also print the flower design onto coloured card stock to create a sorting activity. The flower will need to be cut and laminated. This can function as interactive materials in a literacy centre, where students can match pictures to the correct TH flower. Mix and match these with flowers of other digraph flower crafts to encourage sorting and classification exercises.

Possible Applications:

• Literacy Centres - place the flower pieces in a literacy centre for students to match.

• Classroom decorations or bulletin board displays - place finished crafts on the wall or bulletin board for a fun spring display.

• Individual Work - Students can work independently to create their flowers.

• Group-based Activities - Students can work together to read the words and match the pictures.

• Supplementary Homework - the craft can be sent home for parents to assist students.

These flower craft templates are a perfect fit for educators seeking no-prep resources. All that is required is to print the craft page and distribute it to the students. Basic craft materials such as colouring tools, scissors, glue, and a base paper for the flower craft are needed. Each craft prints on a single page, promoting paper conservation, which aligns with an eco-friendly classroom.

Skills Addressed:

• Identification of the beginning and ending digraph TH

• Development of Scissors Skills

• Improvement of Direction Following abilities

Once these flowers are created, the teacher can create a digraph flower garden display on a bulletin board, classroom door or hallway.
