7 ways to make H header

When kids are first learning to form letters, I love giving them a variety of ways to do it.  It prevents boredom, makes letter forming a positive experience, and promotes creativity.  Check out our seven ways to make the letter H! 

letter H made with happy face stickers

I printed out a large letter H for each of the kids (get it here) and let the kids decorate with happy face stickers.

letter H made with heart stickers

We also made an “H” with heart stickers.  My daughter (5) created her wobbly H without a framework, but for younger kids you might want to use the giant H or just draw a light line for them to place their stickers on.  

letter H made with holes in playdough

This was fun for my Four.  We drew a letter “H” on the play dough with a plastic knife, and he used a straw to poke holes all the way through.

I love these Do-a-Dot pages from Confessions of a Homeschooler.  They make my Four slow down and concentrate on his eye-to-hand coordination.

We used our wooden box frame (from an old toy) and put in a thin layer of colored sand.  It’s my Four’s favorite way to make letters.

After all the fun ways he gets to create letters, my Four doesn’t even complain when he finally has to write them.  We haven’t advanced to regular handwriting pages yet.  You can get a copy of his page (as well as more challenging handwriting worksheets) by visiting this page.
