Preschool Letter H Activities and Free Printables
This week we focused on Preschool Letter H in our letter of the week series. Instead of using our usual beginning sounds basket, I tried something new with beginning H vocabulary cards. I covered the words with play dough, and Filip’s job was to name each picture, guess the beginning sound, and then peel away the play dough to check. He loved discovering that every picture started with the /h/ sound!
Throughout this blog post, I have linked the resources I have used to either my Google Drive, my online store or another blog where I either got that particular download. You can access the downloads by clicking on the photos or links. If you would like to download all the FREE printables I used for the Preschool Letter H week in one download CLICK HERE to get them from Kinder-Resources.com!
Preschool Letter H: Day 1
We started with our H Alphabet Play Dough Mat. Filip finger-traced the letter H to learn the path of motion and then formed the letter with play dough.
➡️ This activity strengthens fine motor skills and builds muscle memory for correct letter formation.
Filip completed a Letter Find worksheet using dot paints.
➡️ Letter find pages give extra practice recognizing letters in while also supporting hand-eye coordination.
For handwriting practice, we used lowercase letter formation sheets from The Measured Mom.
➡️ These worksheets give Filip structured practice forming letters the correct way.
We tried a fun cut-and-paste worksheet from Mariela Santillana.
➡️ Cutting and pasting helps improve scissor skills and supports early literacy by reinforcing letter recognition.
Our letter H CVC word slider cards are always a favorite. Filip sounded out “H…a…m…” before peeking at the picture!
➡️ Slider cards help children blend sounds smoothly and see how letters come together to form words.
We finished with Letter H CVC picture puzzles and a CVC word building activity using letter tiles.
➡️ These activities combine phonics and problem-solving, making spelling more interactive.
Preschool Letter H: Day 2
We traced our H playdough mats with a white board marker.
➡️ This was a great way to reinforce letter formation in a different way while building pencil control.
Filip made the letter H on our pin board (Mosaic Pins) by carefully placing each pin in the right formation.
➡️ Pin boards are wonderful for fine motor strength and coordination, and they give a multisensory way to practice letters.
We completed a pre-writing practice page from From the Pond and our Preschool Letter H Number Puzzle.
➡️ These activities combine early writing strokes with number recognition, supporting multiple skills at once.
We used our word slider cards again. I placed all the cards inside the envelope at once so we could slide through each word without swapping cards!
Preschool Letter H: Day 3
We reviewed beginning sounds for E, F, G and H using our Beginning Sounds Scoops and the matching cut and paste activity.
➡️ This review helped Filip practice isolating initial sounds and sorting them into categories.
Filip decorated a Q-Tip Letter H page from 1plus1plus1equals1 with glitter pens.
➡️ Q-tip painting builds hand strength and coordination while keeping learning playful.
He completed a CVC cut and paste worksheet, tracing and sounding out each word as he went.
➡️ This combines phonics, handwriting, and fine motor skills into one activity.
We ended our week with a craft: H is for House and h is for Horse.
➡️ Crafts make learning memorable and give us a chance to connect letters to meaningful words.

Seriously!! He he not the CUTEST thing ever?!?
I absolutely adore your shop on TPT. My daughters would enjoy the alphabet beginning sounds scoops in their homeschooling curriculum. They love ice cream, so what better way to enhance their learning with a bit of fun! Thank you for your time and talent 🙂 I visit your website often to find more ideas to teach my girls. Thank you!
These are awesome and would be suh a fun addition to our preschool time at home!
I would love to find our own plastic pin board & pins. Any idea where I can find them or what exactly they’re called? Thanks.
We got ours from Kmart (Australia), but they are also called plastic mosaic pins. Hope that helps 🙂
Do the dry-erase markers wipe right off the pin board with the mosaic pins set? I’d love to do that activity with my son, but I want to make sure it comes clean easily.
It does rub off well if you rub it off right away. However, it does require some extra rubbing in the holes.
My son had so much fun while doing the beginning sound scoops. Your product makes learning so fun! Thank you!
Your ideas are amazing, and such fun!
Have just started homeschooling , and found your website through pinterest… i love the way you layout each activity you do with your son.. thank you this really helps as I am trying to do the same with my little one love all your ideas…. Tina (Zimbabwe)
I would love to have this for my students. They would love it!!
Love them!
Love your activities!
Thank you, Julie 🙂

I know this is an old post, but can you buy those push pins or mosaic pins with the grid on Amazon? If so, what would it be called?
Hi Kristi,
They should still be available for purchase: look for peg boards 🙂
