All things A through C

Here's the lesson plans I used for teaching Samuel letters A through C. We are doing one letter per week using a combination of a preschool workbook, coloring pages, crafts, and lapbooks or pouches. All the activities not only teach letter recognition by sight and sound, but also strengthen those basic skills of cutting and pasting, coloring within the lines, sorting, matching, etc. Enjoy!

Letter A a
Letter Aa People - We created our own "A" people using our imagination. Samuel thought this was hilarious by the way! If you don't feel like getting creative though, here's a link to some pre-made templates for alphabet people and other crafts.












Letter Aa Lapbook - You'll need the lapbook printables, manilla folder, scissors, glue, and crayons.












Letter Aa Coloring Pages, Rhymes, and Letter Searches - We used our Starfall membership to print these out. If you don't have a membership, you can find several free coloring pages on the D L T K site that your child might enjoy. We also discovered really neat Bible Alphabet coloring pages that he might like as well.

Letter B b
Letter Bb Pouch - You'll need the pouch printables, manilla folder, stapler, scissors, glue, crayons. (Note: Cut the manilla folder in half while still folded. Then cut 1/4 off the top. The fold will act as the bottom of your pouch. Staple the sides.)














Letter Bb Scavenger Hunt - No supplies needed! Just go to a park, store, or even the backyard and look for things that start with the letter b sound. We did this at Target and Samuel had a blast! You can also look for the letter b on signs and advertisements around town.

Letter Bb Coloring Pages, Rhymes, and Letter Searches - We used our Starfall membership to print these out. If you don't have a membership, you can find several free coloring pages on the D L T K site that your child might enjoy. We also discovered really neat Bible Alphabet coloring pages that he might like as well.

Itsy Bitsy B Book - You'll need the book printable, scissors, crayons, and a stapler. Samuel thought this was really neat and wanted to read his itsy bitsy book to everyone!

Letter Cc
Letter Cc Lapbook - You'll need the lapbook printables, manilla folder, scissors, glue, and crayons.

Cookie Monster Craft - You'll need the cookie monster printable, a T.P. roll, and glue. I also made extra cookies and wrote big C's and little c's on them. Big hit!



C is for Captain America coloring page! Oh yeah! Samuel flipped when he saw this page hee-hee! I made this specifically for him but there are many characters that children love that you can make for your little one. Some ideas include:
  • C is for Care Bears
  • C is for Candace (from Phineas & Ferb)
  • C is for Clifford
  • C is for Cookie Monster
  • C is for Mr. Crabs (from Spongebob)

C is for Crayons - We loved this! We took a bunch of old broken crayons and used them to glue to a big C and little c I drew on a piece of construction paper. Fun!
