Letter Activities for Kids {Stress-Free Sunday #9}

Are you looking for some great letter activities for kids? There is such a wide variety of preschool themes for us to cycle through to keep the children interested. But sometimes, I feel like we get stuck on doing the same activities over and over, with only slight alterations based on the current theme. If you’re looking for some new and creative letter activity ideas, this is the list for you! It is full of interesting and novel ways for children to learn all about letters!

This week, I’m featuring some fun letter activities for kids at Stress-Free Sunday. As you may already know, I’m passionate about early literacy. I firmly believe in using a balanced literacy approach when teaching children to read and write, and letters are definitely a part of this process.

Here are some of Fun-A-Day’s posts that touch on teaching children letters:

This week’s features:

“Alphabet Sensory Play” by Little Bins for Little Hands looks like a great way to combine letter learning and sensory play! I’m going to keep this idea for next year’s preschool class. I just love it!

I would never have thought of And Next Comes L’s “Building Giant Letters Outdoors”! What a way to use unusual materials to form letters.

Fantastic Fun and Learning’s “Easy Tree Snack for Kids” is an extension of a “T is for Trees” unit. What a fun way to incorporate letters, learning, and healthy snacks!

I love the idea of making an entire alphabet quiet book, like And Next Comes L’s “C is for Crab and Clouds” page. Making a felt book like this would be a great preschool project for next year.

Hands-On Preschool Materials

It is imperative that we keep our classrooms stocked with materials that will give our students the hands-on learning experiences that they love (and need!). There are a few specific things that I always keep on-hand in my classroom. Check them out in the list below.

I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

When it comes to preschool, this list is really just skims the surface of the wide variety of materials that can be used. The best thing about this age group is that they learn the most while playing. So, whether they’re playing on the playground, building with blocks, or creating a masterpiece, rest assured that the children are learning so many important skills, all while having fun!
