Preschoolers and Toddlers love letters and they love making crafsts...so lets combine these together. It is amazing to see how much little kids love to learn about the Alphabet ... it just shows that kids were made to learn and soak up information. Two of my kids were obsessed with letters when they were toddlers and I always tried to work letters into every activity to take advantage of the situation.
A really fun way to use Alphabet letters in a craft is to make people, animals, and creatures out of the letter shapes. Little kids think that this is hillarious. For example, the letter 'D' can be made into a 'Dog', a letter 'B' can be made into a 'Butterfly'. Of course, they will need help with the craft because they don't have the drawing skills yet, but they will still learn more about the letter and the sound that it makes.
Some other Preschool ideas with Alphabet Letters are to make a matching game....such as the Memory Game. You can use caps or cardboard and make each letter, twice, so that you have 52 cards or caps. An alternative is to Make 26 Capital Alphabet Letters and 26 Lowercase Alphabet Letters...then the child will have to know what the lowercase letter looks like too - which can sometimes be difficult for younger children to grasp.
A great idea for older kids is to use caps, buttons, or cardboard again and put letters on all of them. Then the older kids can put the letters together to make words. This is a great way to learn how to spell and read. Or...you can make a Hangman game by using magnets and a baking pan. You can paint a hangman game on the metal...this would make a great travel alphabet game.
Another Idea is to take a lined piece of paper, draw all the letters on it, and then laminate that piece of paper. Your child can then practice his or her letters continuously.
Young children love the idea of making a book of their very own. They like to show off about how much they know about the alphabet. ABC books can be made either entirely with crayon drawings, or by a combo of drawing and gluing magazine cut-outs. For the book itself, use 2 sheets of 9"x12" construction paper for each book. Cut 4 sheets out of each piece 4 1/2" x 6", and fold each in half. This will make a book 3" wide and 4 1/2" high, with 32 pages, or enough for the entire alphabet, plus title pages and covers. Before doing any drawing or gluing, punch two holes in the middle of the folded part with an awl or hole puncher, and tie a string through the back to keep the pages together.
