Build-a-Letter LOWERCASE Templates. Finally.

image
Well, I have them finished.  Not exactly by the end of April, as I foolishly told someone earlier this year, but finished nonetheless. :)

I have not gotten around to actually cutting the shapes from foam yet and presenting this to M.  I think I’ll do a few letters with him at a time, along with the uppercase ones (which you can find here), since apparently he has regressed a bit with recognition of both “mama” and “baby” letters.  Or maybe he’s just pulling my leg.  With him I never know!

I plan to use foam for the shapes and print the letter pages on colored paper to make it a bit more appealing than old black and white.

Let me know if you use these!  You can download them by clicking on the image above or going here.

Have a beautiful day! :)

  4. They look great. It's too funny what you said about M. It's often the same here - I just don't know what daughter knows in certain areas unless she makes it slip. She is a master of intentionally incorrect answers.

  5. Bear does that all the time - pull my leg about what she knows and doesn't.
    Thanks for the printables. I love having a printer again:)

  8. Did you get this idea from Handwriting Without Tears? They use the exact same shapes to build letters. It is a great program for early writing skills! You can find info at www.handwritingwithouttears.com.

  9. Emily - I have heard about Handwriting without Tears, but haven't really looked into it since we aren't using any set curriculum for preschool. I did not know they had this same kind of activity. I got the idea from a book titled Build an A (or something like that-?). I've seen a lot of similar things online since I made this set. I have an upper case set available also. Thanks for your comment!

  13. Thank you for sharing this. My son is enjoying the uppercase letters. I was supposed to print the template for the lowercase letters but I can't access the file. I hope you can help me out with this. Thanks!

  14. Thank you for all of the resources you have provided. I tried to access these lower case letters, but they seem to not be there anymore. Is there another place that I can find them?
