To prepare:
- A4 paper (optional colored paper)
- Printer
- Laminator
- Colored magnetic letters
Print and laminate the mats provided, cut out the cow mat or place on a cookie sheet (optional) or you could leave it and use the poster paper. Place it on a tray (optional) along with some magnetic alphabet letters.
Cow Activities
Start by showing the kids the ‘cow mat’. Tell them that they will be making letter matches to feed the cow. You could use one mat for each group of 4 or 5 kids.
You can also create a competition for who matches their letters and finishes feeding ‘their cow’ first (as an extension activity).
Another way you can use these mats is to hide the magnetic letters around the room and have the kids play a scavenger hunt to find and match them onto the mats. Alternatively, you can print mini copies of these mats (2 on one page) in black and white and have each child circle the letter they found around the room. Easy and fun!
Alphabet activities for preschoolers
Be sure to have your kids sound out the letter they found as they match it.
As an added activity, you could have them name a word that begins with that letter such as A for apple and place the letter on the mat.
This is a great way to get pre-schoolers or kindergarten kids to practice their alphabet recognition skills in a fun and engaging activity!
