VOTE Letters
Elementary students may be quite a few years off from actually voting, but it’s never too early for them to look forward to the day when they actually can. It’s a right that did not come easy to many, and should never be taken for granted. The more active participation in our political process, the better everyone is represented.
This tutorial shows students to make the V-O-T-E block letters, and then add a fun cartoon burst in the background. Cartoon lettering 101 AND a reminder about this importance of voting? Not a bad two for one.

- Drawing Paper. Don’t substitute it with copy paper or construction paper. The surface will get fuzzy, erasing might cause holes, and the colors will generally not look as bright. *affiliate link

- Black Sharpie Marker. Great for making a crisp outline to your drawing. Use them when you want your outline show up, but not be so heavy that it detracts from other things. *affiliate link
