Next, laminate the carrots so your kids can use them over and over. Then, cut the reindeer and carrots out. Finally, tape or glue the reindeer on a paper bag or cardboard box (such as a small tissue box) and cut out its mouth.
How To Use The Reindeer Letter Recognition Activity:
To use this letter recognition activity, your kids will pick a carrot and identify the letter on it as they feed it to the reindeer. If your children are just starting to learn the names of the letters, start with just a few carrots. You can then add a few more letters every time they play.
When your kids know all of the letter names, they can say the sound that each letter makes as they feed the reindeer. It’s easy to differentiate this activity for your kids!
This alphabet resource can be used as an independent activity for young children in any early childhood classroom or homeschool.
This Reindeer Letter Recognition Activity is a fun, hands-on way for pre-readers to practice identifying capital and lowercase letters!

I am an Alaskan Kindergarten teacher and we are studying caribou the cousin of the reindeer and we recently read The Caribou Alphabet by Mary Beth Owens. I am going to add this to my resources to help those kindergarteners who still do not know their letters at this time of the school year. It will be highly engaging and I can practice both letter names and letter sounds.
