Are you looking for a letter recognition resource for your kids to do this January? Grab this free printable Hat Letter Match Activity!
Winter literacy activities like this one are a hands-on way for your young learners to practice naming and matching capital and lowercase letters.
As your kids use the plastic links to connect the links together, they will also work on developing their fine motor skills.
Matching capital and lowercase letters is an important skill for preschoolers and kindergarteners to learn.
It is a great way for your learners to start developing their letter recognition skills.
When kids are able to recognize the ABCs by their shape and name, they are able to write letters and words and put them together to read.

Next, bend the pieces in an oval shape but don’t connect the ends. Your students can use pipe cleaner pieces like they would use the links.
How to Use the Hat Letter Recognition Activity:
First, your kids will select a hat card with a capital letter on it and say the name of the letter.
Next, they will sort through the cards to find the matching lowercase letter.
After finding the matching capital and lowercase letter hat cards, your students will connect them together using plastic links.
They will continue sorting, matching, and connecting the cards until they have matched all the letters together.
