Llama, Llama, Red Pajama. Reads a story with Who? With his Mama.
Seriously y’all. Did you see that video of Ludacris rapping Llama, Llama, Red Pajama? It is so stinking catchy! A year later and it’s still stuck in my head!
And it’s literally the first thing I think of when I think of the letter L. That song and llamas.
For some reason llamas are super popular right now. Don’t get me wrong. They are kinda cute, but they also spit. And yes…I know this from an unlucky first hand experience at a drive through zoo.
Still there are lots of other awesome things about the letter L like ladybugs and lollipops. Both of which don’t spit. And they make really cute crafts!

Ladybugs are cute an all, but they invade our house in the spring so they aren’t my very favorite. This craft however is adorable!

For this sweet craft, we made lollipops. I cut a simple circle out of cardstock and glued it to a popsicle stick. Then we decorated them with some glitter glue. We were going to add some sprinkles, but time got away from us!
No template needed for this one!
