About this resource
What's inside this resource
Have some tactile letter fun! These cute alphabet wikki stick mats allow students to practice shaping letters in a fun way. It also gives them an opportunity to have a hands-on activity that activates their creativity! We all know kids learn better when they're allowed to move and use their hands! Let's put that to good use in helping them learn proper letter shapes and formation!
How to Use This:
When you're teaching a new letter, these wikki stick pages can be a great addition to your plans. Print for each student or laminate for re-use. Pass out wikki sticks with your students and help them bend and shape the sticks to the shape of each letter. If they have extra time, they could use wikki sticks to form an object whose name starts with that letter.
These wikki stick activity pages are great independent work, center fillers, homework, or just additions to your letter lessons. If you are using a letter of the week type of approach, these worksheets would fit right in! They can be used while teaching children at home, small homeschool or co-op groups, or a large preschool or kindergarten class. Sticky wikki sticks are a great way to reinforce letter learning!
What You Get:
- 26 letter wikki stick mats to help students shape the letters in black and white
- 26 letter wikki stick mats to help students shape the letters in color
Teaching young kids to learn to read requires so many different steps and activities. I hope that this activity and others I've made will help you create a letter-learning curriculum and plan that will help you cover all the topics and skills you needs to help your students become proficient readers and learn to love reading with all their hearts. High-quality resources, activities, worksheets, and crafts can make all the difference in making their learning memorable and fun!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will trace the shape of each uppercase and lowercase letter of the alphabet using Wikki Stix.
Students will build fine-motor control through bending and pressing Wikki Stix along a letter's outline.
Teaching tips
Print in color and laminate the mats if you plan to reuse them across multiple students or school years, per the file's own instructions.
Pace the 26 mats as a letter-of-the-week routine rather than assigning them all at once.
Have Wikki Stix (or a similar bendable, reusable tactile material) ready before the activity, since the mats are designed around that specific manipulative rather than a pencil. During H practice, turn the letter shape into a craft with these letter H outline mats.
Skills covered
Letter-shape recognition and formation — students trace all 26 uppercase and lowercase letter pairs using a tactile manipulative instead of a pencil.
Fine-motor development — bending and pressing Wikki Stix along each letter outline builds hand strength and control ahead of traditional handwriting.
Good to know
