Before we start doing the letter Q craft, I would like to give some book recommendation:

Letter Q Craft: Quail Craft for Kids

What you’ll need to make the Q is for quail craft for each child:
• 1 brown paper cup
• White paper
• Brown paper
• 2 googly eyes
• Orange paper

Q is for Quail Craft Directions

Before starting this craft with kids, you will need to cut out some pieces in advance. Each child will need 1 white belly piece, a brown quail tuft, a brown tail, a beak, and two orange legs.
Each child will also need two googly eyes.
When craft day arrives, give each child all supplies they need to put their quails together. Use glue to attach the tail, beak, feet, eyes, and quail tuft. If you use a glue stick it will be easier than if you use dot glue, as the stickiness of the glues stick holds things in place better on a 3D surface. Add brown dots to the white belly piece and glue in place.
Let the quails dry before letting kids play with them or take them home. Otherwise, you’ll lose pieces along the way.

While making the craft, have kids think of other things that may start with the letter Q, like quiet, quilts, and queens. Maybe a child is wearing the letter Q on her/his shirt? Do a quick search in the classroom for anything else that either starts with Q or has the letter Q on it. Kids will love this activity in conjunction with the craft, and it gives faster crafters something to do when they are done.

Madreen Karle and Meeghan Karle Mousaw

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle's Sight and Sound Reading, Mrs. Karle's Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle's Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created "sunshine moments" to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.

Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 7 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.

The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets. Over the last 7 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.
