Learning the ABC’s will be “snow” much fun this winter with this Snowman Building Letters Activity!
This winter-themed resource is a hands-on way for your pre-readers to work on letter recognition and formation.
Snowman Building Letters Activity:
Before your preschoolers and kindergarteners learn how to read, they need to learn 5 pre-reading skills including letter knowledge.
With activities like this one, your kids can practice naming and forming capital letters.
Getting Ready To Use The Snowman Building Letters Activity:
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure here.
What’s Included:
- 26 Capital Letter Snowman Cards
What Else Is Needed:
- White Card Stock
- Scissors
- Craft Sticks
- Mini Craft Sticks
- Laminator
- Laminating Pouches
To prepare this letter activity for your kids, fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
After receiving the email with the printables, download and print the cards that you want to use on white card stock.
Next, cut the cards apart. (There are two per page.) You may want to also laminate the cards so your children can use this resource.
For this activity, your kids will need to use both the full-size and mini craft sticks. You can order either the colored or natural mini ones from Amazon or make your own.
To make your own set of mini craft sticks, cut the full-size ones in half. You will then want to sand the cut edge so it isn’t sharp or rough for your children.
You can store the cards and craft sticks in a resealable bag or box for a literacy activity that is easy to set up or take on the go.
How To Use The Snowman Building Letters Activity:
For this alphabet activity, your pre-readers will pick a card and identify the capital letter on it.
Next, they will use the full-size and mini craft sticks to build the letter.
If your children are just starting to learn the ABC’s, have them start with just a few cards. You can then add more as they learn the letters.
Extend The Activity:
There are many other themed activities that your pre-readers can do this winter. You can read books such as:
