Letter L Activities for Preschool

Today I’m sharing a collection of simple letter L activities that my preschooler and I have been doing. It’s a peek at our week!

(Update: I published this post years ago when my children were young. Now that I have more time, I’ve created a done-for-you alphabet curriculum perfect for preschool!)

Letter L Activities

Each week I’m sharing a collection of alphabet activities that I do with my three-year-old. Time for letter L!

My little guy listened to me read my Little Letter L Book of songs and nursery rhymes. Every time I read one of these his little sister (15 months) is at my knee beginning to be picked up. Singing books are wonderful for toddlers.

I drew this laundry, and he colored it. I cut it out and together we glued down all the pieces to make laundry on a line. Check out this and other crafts in our collection of crafts for letter L.

This lobster is one of my favorite crafts. Instead of having him step in the paint like I did when my older kids did this craft, I painted the bottom of his foot. Lots of giggles! I painted his hands too. It was much easier to get a nice solid print that way. He liked adding the details with a permanent marker. You’ll find this one in our collection of letter L crafts, too.

We dipped legos in washable paint and made prints. Aren’t they pretty?

I built letters L and H on a lego building plate. Then I showed him how to build on top of the pieces and make them taller. He stayed very focused on this for quite a while. It was a great problem solving activity, too, as he had to find the right sized pieces to fill in the gaps.

I just love this fine motor activity from Powerful Mothering! I drew a chalk heart on the driveway, and he covered the line with loose parts (we used clear glass gems). Once I showed him how to do it he was very excited to do the whole thing himself.

For our whole alphabet activity he sorted lowercase refrigerator letters. We sorted them by which letters are tall and which are short. I left out letters that might be confusing for this sort, like g and p.

Usually, we find library books for our focus letter, but I confess that this week it just slipped my mind!

We didn’t do any special sensory play this week because it was gorgeous outside. Perhaps you could tell that from his grubby fingernails in most of these pictures. 🙂 Making mud pies, chalk soup, and other interesting backyard concoctions kept him busy for many hours!

See you next week!
