Steps
Prior to starting, prep the piano keys, by making a rectangle the size of the letter P. And using a pencil, create dots to dots to resemble the piano keys for the child to trace at a later time.
First, have the child trace the letter P template on the black construction paper using a marker where the line can be visibly seen.
Next, have the child use a scissor and cut out the letter P.
Then, have the child use a marker and trace the lines to create the piano keys. Guide the child to color in the black keys.
Finally, have the child glue the keys onto the left side of the letter P so it look like a Piano!
You are officially done! Yay!
Modifications
You can be creative with the keys and make them different shapes and colors.
You can replace cotton balls with tissue paper, and have the child use their pincer grasp to place and glue the white paper onto the piano body.
Be creative and make the piano any color you like!
