Walrus Craft: Letter W Creative Writing Prompt and Animal Research Activity

Sunday, March 3, 2013

Walter the Walrus makes letter W week a little more fun. Students build the craft, write about what they would do if they were or owned a walrus, and share real facts.

This walrus craft is a letter W activity that pairs Walter the Walrus with writing prompts and a simple research page. Students build the craft, write about what they would do if they were or owned a walrus, and share real facts, so 1 animal covers art, writing, and science.
