This week we explored the lovable bear from Karma Wilson’s books, Bear Says Thanks, Bear Sees Colors, Bear Counts and Bear Snores On. To support our bear theme, I created this letter matching activity for preschool and kindergarten.
I originally designed this printable with the Melissa & Doug alphabet stamps in mind. But you can use this fun printable with any small alphabet manipulatives you want. Pictured above are 1 inch alphabet tiles. Other manipulatives that will work are alphabet beads, alphabet stickers, or writing in the corresponding letters.
Emmett was super excited to get to use the stamps and the multicolored ink pad today. He took the time to match the ink color that he chose to the color on the stamp. Him and I took turns stamping each letter (he insisted that we do them in order) and he was excited when the letter E landed on his turn.
I decided to have him match the uppercase letters on the page to lower case stamps. You can choose to match uppercase to uppercase, lowercase to lowercase or uppercase to lowercase, depending on your students’ readiness level. There are two variations of the printable.
Voila! Emmett was so proud of our finished product.
