Travis traced a few quick upper and lower case Ps today, and then put together these quick silly versions of the letter.

For upper case, we used pieces of licorice (actually: fruit chews from Clif Kids since I couldn’t find string licorice). Use a full piece of the fruit chew for the stem of the P, then uncoil one strand to make the loop.

Next I gave Travis two empty pillowcases and challenged him to design a p. He actually had the shapes correct in moments…

…just needed a little adjusting to twist the pillowcases tighter for a clearer result.
