Letter Design: Build a playground from the first letter of your name! Can you disguise the letter within the equipment?

1. With pencil, make the first letter of your name on a paper.
2. Design your dream playground around your letter. Try to overlap parts of your letter, erase, and build onto. What shapes and lines can you use to disguise the letter?
3. Use washable markers to color your design. Did you know a washable marker can turn into watercolor paint if you use a paintbrush and water overtop of your marks?!
