We don’t have a lower case letter craft series, but we do have a few letter activities that include lower case letters. Check out Feed the Puppy, Tactile Letter Cards, ABC Caterpillar, and ABC Playdough Mats.

says:Love these crafts!!!
Daniel Gomez
says:Great ideas for my preschooler!
Yvette Jimenez
says:These are great ideas. What’s the youngest age you would suggest for crafts like these?
Robin E.
says: Customer ServiceYvette,
It depends on the child and the amount of supervision and help. If you planned to have your child work alone on these crafts, they need to be at least 4-years-old or so. Those googly eyes could be a choking hazard to younger children. However, with supervision and help, 2 and 3-year-olds could be very successful with these crafts. I have even known a few of 18-month-old toddlers that would be happy to put on the eyes and a piece or two of the paper while an adult did the rest.
Anna
says:I have already started getting mine. I can’t wait to do this with my 4 year old.
Lisa
says:These are great! Thank you!
Katherine
says:I love this craft! My 5 year old daughter was excited it was Wednesday to get our next letter. We are saving the little “B” in the top corner on both templates to make a memory/matching game for the end. Just cutting them out and putting them in an envelope as we gather them each week. Thank you for the wonderful learning tool!
Robin E.
says: Customer ServiceKatherine,
I love your idea to save the letters in the upper left-hand corner each week for a match game! That would be such a fun review after completing the entire alphabet. Thank you for sharing this idea!
Brie
says:I think this is such a sweet idea. Thank you for sharing these.
Wilhelmina
says:Thank you for this lovely “B” craft idea. I can’t wait to use it in my class next school year.
Robin E.
says: Customer ServiceWilhelmina,
I think these letter crafts would be so much in a class setting, and would make great decorations for a bulletin board!
