Learning the alphabet is a huge building block of early learning. The first step in learning the alphabet is recognizing what each uppercase and lowercase letter looks like.
Once your child recognizes and understands the alphabet, they’ll begin to learn the sounds they make and this will be the foundation for both reading and writing.
We all know it’s important to teach our kids the ABCs, but sometimes we want a quick, fun, and engaging way to reinforce what they’ve been learning. These fun preschool alphabet worksheets are just that!
All you need to do is gather crayons or a dot marker and let your child work through a few of these worksheets!
Also, be sure to check out all of our preschool worksheets for even more ideas.
How To Use These Printables
If you want to use these alphabet worksheets more than once, you can laminate them and use them with a dry erase marker.
Instead of having them color in each square, you can have them “X” out all of the letters they’re searching for.
If you’re only using them one time, you can have them color the square with markers or crayons. You can also use dot markers to add a circle inside each box.
To bring more variety to the activity, try letting your child use bingo chips, cereal (like Cheerios), buttons, or small erasers to make their way through each of the alphabet mazes.
Skills Learned
These ABC letter mazes will help children learn to distinguish and recognize uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
Kids will also work on following directions and fine motor skills as they work through the printables.
To add more learning opportunities to each worksheet, you can begin to discuss the sounds each letter makes.
Every worksheet also has a picture of an animal that begins with the featured letter. If you want to deepen your child’s learning experience, try teaching them a few things about each animal.
