Here is a look at how our week unfolded using these Preschool Letter B Printable Activities.

Preschool Letter B Printable Activities: Day 1

We started Preschool Letter B with our much loved Alphabet Play Dough Mats, which Filip absolutely adores. We finger traced the letters a few times, as he was finding the lowercase b a little tricky. After that, he used different coloured whiteboard markers to trace each letter. He also has a fascination with the whiteboard eraser and loves wiping his writing off once he is done.

We also added a new activity this week, a Bb beginning sounds basket. I filled a basket with toys and household items that start with the letter B. Together, we named each item and really emphasised the initial b sound. This was a simple activity but very effective for early sound awareness.

Next, Filip completed an uppercase and lowercase letter recognition worksheet, which he decided to paint instead of colour.

We then moved on to a pre writing practice sheet from From the Pond. To change things up, I suggested using glue and glitter instead of markers. Even though squeezing the glue and staying on the lines was challenging, he absolutely loved this activity and was very proud of the finished result.

I also set up a mini sensory tub using an Alphabet Find It game by Carisa. Filip was not keen on digging through the tub by himself, so we played together, which worked much better for him.

We finished Day 1 with our Letter Bb craft. Filip had been waiting all day for this, as he loves cut and paste activities and making things come to life. He carefully applied glue in straight lines, and the finished craft was a big success.

Preschool Letter B Activities and Crafts: Day 2

We started Day 2 with a beginning sounds sorting activity, using vocabulary cards from Letter A and Letter B. We really over emphasised the beginning sound so Filip could clearly hear the difference between “a” and “b.” While he cannot yet sort the cards independently, he understands that we are listening for the first sound, and that is a big win at this stage.

We continued practising beginning sounds using worksheets and dot paints. As I have mentioned before, Filip is not a fan of colouring in, so dot paints help us keep activities enjoyable without skipping important skills.

Next, we used tracing printables from The Measured Mom. Filip enjoyed using fruit scented markers and told me the letters at the bottom of the page were too small for his markers, which made me smile.

Filip loves books and often pretends to read alongside his older siblings. While I am not introducing sight words just yet, I decided to try the flip book from my Phonics Letter of the Week Bb unit. He loved having his very own booklet and even coloured in some of the pictures.

To assemble the flip book, I cut out the top and bottom rectangles, cut the bottom piece along the dashed lines, and left the top intact to form the base. Once coloured, the flip pages were stacked and secured with staples.

We also completed a balloon tissue paper scrunch craft, which was wonderful for strengthening fine motor skills.

Preschool Letter B Printable Activities: Day 3

On our final day, we started with a sensory balloon activity. Since B is for balloon, we filled balloons with rice, beans, sugar, flour, and hair gel. We spent time feeling each balloon, comparing textures, and talking about how they felt.

Later in the day, when the other kids came home from school, Filip proudly showed them the balloons. Of course, this eventually turned into a balloon fight, and I had to step in before anything popped.

Filip also completed a Letter Bb maze, using stamps to move from one side to the other. He still works in a random order, but that is perfectly fine at this stage.

We finished off with a beginning sounds worksheet, a Q tip letter b activity, and a counting activity using pom poms, which he really enjoyed.

And just like that, our Preschool Letter B Printable Activities week came to an end.

Filip loves Fridays, especially when all his work is displayed so he can show Sam everything he has done. Seeing his excitement and confidence grow each week makes all the effort worthwhile.
