- Capital and Lowercase Letter A Aliens
- Capital and Lowercase Letter A Apples
What Else Is Needed:
- White Card Stock or Copy Paper
- Scissors

- Glue
To prepare this alphabet activity, click on the button below. Then, download and print the aliens and apples. I like to print my resources on white card stock, because it is more durable. But, you can use copy paper too.
Next, laminate the aliens and apples so your kids can use them over and over. Then, cut all of the pieces out. Finally, tape or glue the the aliens to a paper bag or cardboard box and cut out the mouths.
How To Use The Letter A Sort:
To use this letter recognition activity, your kids will pick an apple and identify if it has a lowercase or capital letter A. They will then “feed” it to alien with the lowercase or capital letter A.
To make this even more fun, put the apples into a container full of shredded paper, rice, or noodles for a sensory play activity that your kids are sure to love!
This interactive sorting resource an be used as an independent activity for young children in any early childhood classroom or homeschool.
If you are a classroom teacher, these mats can used for literacy centers, morning tubs, or as an enrichment activity. For homeschoolers, try strewing this activity or include it in your morning basket.
This Letter A Sort is a fun, hands-on way for pre-readers to work on letter recognition and fine motor skills.
