I’ve got some new winter alphabet activities for you! Just in time for our first snowfall!! These activities are perfect for preschoolers who are mastering their letter recognition, letter sound correspondence, and letter formation.
This set of activities is everything SNOWFLAKES and includes several ways to use these Snowflake Themed Letter cards. I included a set of uppercase and lowercase letters so that you can decide what your preschoolers need to practice.
The Say, Build, Write Mat is perfect for these dry erase sleeves. I got these from the Target Dollar Spot over the summer, but you can just as easily use a page protector with dry erase markers. The mat allows your preschooler to display a letter card, say the name, say the sound, build the letter, and write the letter.
I left the “build” area of the mat open ended so that you can decide what materials you would like to provide your preschoolers to build the letters. Giving the kiddos a choice of materials would also work well. Things like pipe cleaners, mini erasers, play doh or beads are great options.
What is it with preschoolers and dice?? Writing letters can seem like a tedious task until dice are involved. The Snowflake Letter Cards fit easily inside pocket dice. You can choose 6 letters you would like your preschooler to practice writing. Then have them toss the dice and record the letter they land on. This activity works well in partners or independently.
Snowflake Search and Cover miiiighhtt be my favorite activity in this set because it’s just so fun to set up the search tray. For this one, I just tossed a bag of cotton balls into a tray and set the cards up, but you can present them however you like! Make a draw pile, a sensory bin, it’s up to you!
Next, I’ve included a Snowflake Color the Room recording sheet in uppercase and lowercase letters. For this activity, you simply hang the Snowflake Letter Cards throughout the room and have students travel around to find them. As they find the letters around the room, they can color them on their recording sheet. Lillian is just learning pen control, but she enjoyed pointing to the letters and saying their names as we found them around the room.
For those preschoolers who are ready to write, I’ve also included at Snowflake Write the Room Recording Sheet in lowercase and uppercase letters. This is an easy way to differentiate too! Simply give your pre-writers the coloring sheet and your writers the tracing sheet. They will be completing the same activity but fine tuning different skills. Win-win!
The best part of this set of activities is that once you have the Snowflake Alphabet Cards ready to go, all you have to do is print the rest! The cards can be used with all the recording sheets in this resource, so you can get a lot of mileage out of one prep.
