Because we’ve been focusing on back to school lately and we love wheel crafts, we decided to make an “All about me” spinner craft for the first day of school.
The All about me printable comes with a girl and boy version and it includes a writing activity as well. This makes it a great craft for kindergartners and first graders.
It is a great back to school craft as well as an open house activity. Teachers can give the craft to the kids to color and fill out and return on the first day of school.
This All about me is pretty similar in concept to the First day of school apple spinner and although two of the writing fields (name and age) are the same, the rest are different.
Included on the spinner are:
- My name is _______
- I am _______ years old
- I am good at ________
- I like to ________
- Favorite :
- animal
- season
- food
- color
Kids will color the cover and if they want, like my youngest did, they can also add some color to the spinner itself.
This All about me is a fun way to make kids think about some of their favorite things and their qualities. It’s also a good opportunity to talk about what makes everyone unique and differences and similarities between themselves and their classmates.
