Snowflakes Letter Match for Preschoolers

Invite your preschoolers to match the uppercase and lowercase letters with this FREE Snowflakes Letter Match hands-on activity, ideal for the Winter season.
This activity will help preschoolers develop their concentration, visual discrimination, letter knowledge, one-to-one correspondence, creating sets, eye-hand coordination, and fine motor skills.
Importance of Recognizing Letters
When children learn how to identify and name the letters and their sounds, they are developing the necessary pre-reading and pre-writing skills to be able to learn how to read and write later on in Kindergarten, because that way they will be able to put the letters’ sounds together to make syllables, then words and finally put words together to form phrases.
Snowflakes Letter Match
This FREE Snowflakes Letter Match activity can be used in different areas and ways such as:
- Small group activity.
- Writing center option.
- Reading area option.
- Take home game
- Quiet area option.
It comes with a little over four pages with six snowflakes each, to include all the letters of the alphabet. Each snowflake is divided into one uppercase and lowercase letter.
To prepare the activity you just need to print the pages using white cardstock, cut the snowflakes out, cut them in half, and laminate all the pieces. Then place the cutout snowflakes inside a basket and put them on a table. Let your preschoolers have fun trying to find the matching letters. It’s okay if they want to do it with a partner.
To extend the activity you can:
- Ask children to say the name and/or sound of each letter they are matching.
- Use it as a folder game. You just have to cut out the snowflakes, divide them in half and paste one half on a manila folder. Laminate the other half of the snowflakes and place them an envelope or a Zip-lock bag, to keep them safe.
- Have the children match the letter with magnetic, foam or wooden letters, to have another option for them to do.
- Copy the letters using pencils, markers or crayons.
- Identify each letter and find a word that start with each letter.
- Place the matched letters in alphabetical order.
Books About Snowflakes
As usual, I would recommend including fiction and non-fiction books about snowflakes. That will allow your preschoolers to learn new vocabulary and tie this activity with science, math, and other domains, which is ideal for a comprehensive learning process. These are some of the books about snowflakes I like. You can find those books at your local library, used books store, and Amazon.
