ways to make letter I - the measured mom

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Handwriting worksheets are just a part of how we teach our little ones to write their letters.  Here are nine interesting ways to make the letter I.  They’re great for preschool fine motor practice!

letter I made out of Don't Break the Ice ice

First we made a letter “I” with ice!  These are very neat ice cubes – they don’t melt.  We got them out of our Don’t Break the Ice game.

The kids enjoyed using Do-A-Dot markers to fill in the Letter I.  This page is from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

letter I written in flourMy Four loves to write letters in this little box.  To write a new letter, he gently shakes the box and starts over. This time he wrote in flour.

letter I written on chalkboard with water

What a simple but very fun idea!  My boys just loved tracing chalk letters with water and a paintbrush. Even my Two (going on three), who doesn’t write letters yet, really wanted to do this. When we were done the boys spent a good half an hour painting the whole chalkboard.  And when they were done with this, they left their water and paintbrushes behind and my One gave himself a turn.  Of course, he just painted the floor :(!

I finally purchased my own power magnets so the kids could do these colorful pages from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

letter I made out of Duplos with toy insects

I gave my Two these five Duplo blocks to see if he could make the letter I on his own.  He needed some help, but was proud of the final product.

I was happy to find another use for these fun insects.  My Two used them to fill in a giant letter I.  Get your own giant letter I by visiting this page.

My Four always completes one of these pages when we write our letters.  Traditional handwriting pages are still a bit much for him.  You can get your copy of this and other handwriting pages by visiting this link.
