Building the letters of the alphabet using crafts sticks is not only a hands-on way for your kids to practice letter recognition and letter formation.

But, it’s also a fun activity for them to do to work on developing their fine motor skills, hand and eye coordination, and much more.

These skills are so important for pre-readers and pre-writers who are learning everything from how to hold a book to pencil grip!

To prepare this alphabet activity, click on the button at the bottom of the page and fill out the form.

Then, download and print the Valentine letter cards on white card stock.

Next, cut the cards apart. (There are two per page.) You may want to also laminate the cards so your kids can use this activity over and over. 

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 kids.

To begin using this letter recognition activity, your pre-readers will select a card and identify the letter on it.

They will then use the full-size and mini craft sticks to build the letter.
