How To Use The Cat Letter Matching Activity:

For this letter recognition activity, your preschoolers and kindergarteners will pick a cat card and identify the capital letter on it.

Next, they will sort through the ball of yarn cards to find the one with the matching lowercase letter. Your kids will then give the cat the yarn ball. 

Your pre-readers will continue sorting and matching the lowercase and capital letters together until all of the cats have their balls of yarn.

 If your children are just starting to learn the ABC’s, start with a few letters. As their letter knowledge increases, you can add more cards every time your preschoolers do this activity.
