Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Lowercase letter recognition: Each craft centers on a single lowercase letter for clear visual identification.
• Beginning sound identification: Every craft shows a familiar animal or object that starts with the target letter.
• Letter-sound connections: Children link each letter to its sound in a visual, hands-on way.
• Vocabulary: Crafts spark conversations about animals and objects such as a jaguar, an ostrich or a quilt.
• Fine motor skills: Cutting, coloring and gluing build hand strength, scissor skills and control.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Following directions
• Maintaining attention
• Working independently
• Creative expression with the black-and-white versions
• Building confidence

How to Use It

Step 1: Print the craft template for your chosen letter in color or black and white.

Step 2: Set out crayons or markers, scissors and glue sticks. Children color the pieces (if using black and white) and cut them out.

Step 3: Children use the mini visual cue to glue the pieces together and form the character or object. Say the letter name and sound together as you admire the finished craft.

Materials You'll Need

• Crayons or markers
• Scissors
• Glue sticks

Easy Differentiation

Children come to craft time with very different cutting and letter skills. These crafts are simple to adjust for each of them.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Pre-cut some or all of the pieces
• Use the full-color version so children can focus on assembling
• Point to the mini letter icon and place the first piece together
• Say the letter name and sound aloud while gluing each piece

For On-Level Practice

• Color, cut and glue the black-and-white version independently
• Name the letter and the beginning sound of the character or object
• Complete one letter craft each week with your letter of the week

For an Extra Challenge

• Assemble the craft without looking at the mini letter icon
• Name more words that start with the same sound
• Write the lowercase letter or the craft's name beside the finished craft
• Collect finished crafts in a binder or folder to build an alphabet book

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Practice target sounds and vocabulary with each craft's character or object
• Use the crafts during OT sessions to build scissor skills and bilateral coordination (using both hands together)
• Offer short language frames such as "a is for ___."
• Give extra processing time and model each step before children begin

Perfect For

• Letter of the week and letter introduction
• Literacy centers
• Small groups
• Whole-class craft time
• Speech therapy and ELL support
• Occupational therapy sessions
• Special education classrooms
• Substitute plans and independent work
• After school enrichment and at-home crafts
• Alphabet books and end-of-year portfolios
• Homeschool preschool and kindergarten
