Preschool Letter E Printable Activities & Crafts

Welcome to our Preschool Letter E Printable Activities week!

We began our Preschool Letter of the Week E with an alphabet pinwheel. I had originally planned to start with our beginning sounds basket, but all I could find around the house were eggs and envelopes. The idea of placing fragile eggs into a basket for a preschooler to handle did not seem like the wisest decision at the time. Boiling them might have helped, but that thought came a little too late!

So we started with the pinwheel instead. After showing Filip how to rotate the second wheel, he loved watching the images appear in the little window. It was a fun and simple way to introduce the letter E.

Here is how our week unfolded using these Preschool Letter E Printable Activities.

Preschool Letter E Printable Activities: Day 1

Next, we moved on to our Alphabet Play Dough Mat. As usual, Filip started by finger tracing both uppercase E and lowercase e. After that, he used play dough to form the letters.

These mats are honestly one of my favourite tools for teaching preschoolers their ABCs. They are engaging, strengthen fine motor skills, and can be used in multiple ways to reinforce different concepts.

I especially love the directional arrows that show children how to form each letter correctly. The handwriting lines also gently introduce the idea that letters have a specific height and position on the line. While we are not focusing on handwriting lines just yet, I hope this early exposure will make things easier when we begin writing words later on.

We then tried a new letter recognition worksheet. Filip traced the letters at the top with his fruit scented markers, dot painted the uppercase and lowercase e’s, and stamped the large E in the centre. He really enjoyed this one.

Since he has been building with blocks a lot lately, I decided to extend that interest into our letter work. We tried a letter building activity using cubes, creating both uppercase E and lowercase e.

We finished Day 1 with our Letter of the Week craft: “E” for elephant and “e” for echidna. Craft time continues to be a favourite part of our routine.

Preschool Letter E Activities and Crafts: Day 2

Day 2 began with our Beginning Sounds Scoops. This time, I turned the picture scoops face down. Filip flipped each one over and told me whether the picture began with the “e” sound or a different sound.

We also completed our beginning sounds colouring worksheet. He seems more willing to colour when using crayons instead of pencils, which makes a big difference.

Next, he practised uppercase letter E tracing using printables from The Measured Mom.

Then it was time for the Letter E puzzle. I recently added adhesive magnets to the back of each strip and used a baking tray as our work surface. Previously, the strips kept sliding out of place and caused frustration, but the magnets solved that problem beautifully.

We finished Day 2 with a pre writing practice sheet from From the Pond.

Preschool Letter E Printable Activities: Day 3

Day 3 began with an alphabet maze worksheet, which he completed independently.

Because Filip loves books so much, we also made an alphabet mini book focusing on letter writing, beginning sounds, and letter identification. As with the other books he creates, he could not wait to show Sam what he had accomplished.

He chose glitter glue for the Q tip Letter E activity. By the end, his fingers were tired from squeezing, and he rushed the last section. Even so, it was excellent fine motor practice.

Filip wanted to use some glitter glue to complete the Q-Tip Letter E page. His fingers got tired of squeezing by the end of it and he rushed the last bit!

We also completed our flip book for the week. Filip proudly told Sam he had learned a new word. “Do you know what THIS is?” he asked. “It’s an eggplant!” Watching his excitement never gets old.

To finish our Preschool Letter of the Week E, we tried an egg craft. We started by gluing sequins onto the egg template. After a while, he became less enthusiastic about the sticky glue on his fingers. Out came the glitter instead, and instantly the activity became exciting again.

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

Each week builds on the last. Filip recognises the routine, grows more confident, and continues to find joy in learning. That makes every little adjustment and creative idea worthwhile.
