Little Wonders’ Days has an idea that is so precious, I had to post about it…and make one with my daughters today! I actually have extra leaves leftover from last year! Little Wonders’ makes their own using watercolors…another great idea! This past summer, she had a ‘bucket list’ of things her family wanted to do during the summer. This fall, she tweaked it a little to include past traditions and activities they like to do during the fall. This craft is so heartwarming, it will make the perfect addition to your home for fall.

Printable Letter Books for Preschoolers
I did a post earlier this year with activities and ideas for teaching the alphabet, but a lot or learning letters and recognizing them just has to do with seeing them and working with them a lot.
That means coloring, tracing, identifying things that start with different letters and more.
One way to reinforce the letters is through little activity books like these cute printable alphabet books from Life Over Cs.
These are available for free when you subscribe to her newsletter, and I’d say that’s well worth it if you have a little one (or a group of little ones!) working on the alphabet and letter recognition.
Each mini book includes a collection of things that start with that letter to color, color and read with words that start with the letter, tracing the letter, finding the letter in a grid and other coloring pages with objects that start with that letter.
These little books are super useful reinforcing the different letters and giving kids different activities related to the letters.
If you do a letter of the day or letter of the week you can use a new book for each one, and then keep the copies in your reading center or in a basket where kids can look at them again.
And of course you can add in all the other letter activities you like, go on a scavenger hunt for items that start with that letter, read alphabet books, practice writing letters in rice or with pompoms or playdough or whatever sensory activities you like.
You can grab the free printables when you enter you email address at Life Over Cs, and check out her other great alphabet resources and activities while you are over there.
Do you have favorite activities for teaching letters to kids? I’d love to hear about them!
