Product description

From the author

Let students get creative with these letter outlines for alphabet crafts or activity mats. These mats have a variety of uses from hands on alphabet center activities to sorting activities for letter recognition or beginning sounds. This packet contains the letter P!

What is Included:

  • * Two capital letter mats

  • * Two lowercase letter mats

  • * Two mats with both the capital and the lowercase letter

By having several varieties of each alphabet mat, teachers are able to choose the mat that best fits their letter curriculum. All of the letter mats are full pages. Each letter has bold outlines and is in an easy-to-recognize font so students can easily identify and recognize the letter they are working with.

Ways to Use

  • * Alphabet Craft Templates

  • * Bulletin Board Letters

  • * Sorting Mats

  • * Manipulative Mats

One popular way to use these mats is to use the first letter of your students name to create a name craft for them to complete by letting students decorate the letter any way they choose.

Craft Ideas for the Letter P:

  • * penguin, pineapple or other "P" word stickers

  • * decorate like a pizza

  • * make a purple or pink collage

  • * decorate with pompoms

Skills Assessed:

  • * Following Directions

  • * Letter Recognition

  • * Identifying capital and lowercase letters

  • * Beginning Sounds

  • * Fine Motor Skills

The skills assessed with these mats will vary based on the activity given. Students completing crafts will practice letter recognition and following directions. Those using the mats for building letters will practice fine motor skills and letter recognition. By using the mats for a sorting activity, students will work on identifying beginning sounds as well as sorting capital and lowercase letters.

The letter mats themselves are no prep. The teacher just needs to print them out and give them to students with the required materials to complete the desired activity.
