8. Colored Glue 

Have your child spell their words with colored glue.  To make the colored glue, simply pour the glue in a plastic cup, color with food color, and pour back into the glue bottle.  If you don’t feel like making colored glue, have them use white glue and then add glitter, or use puffy paint.
