This post has a huge variety of fun, hands-on (and free!) letter F activities for preschool.

We had a lot of fun with letter F!  With grandparents in town at the end of the week, we didn’t get to as many activities as I’d have liked. But we were able to squeeze in some activities even as I spent several days cleaning the house and preparing for our guests.

Letter F Activities

This post has a huge variety of fun, hands-on (and free!) letter F activities for preschool.

I always start the week reading our printable books for each letter.  Besides this letter F book, which comes with the wonderful Learning the Alphabet curriculum, we read my Little Letter F book of rhymes and songs, plus our letter book with photographs.

I cut out the pictures from Learning the Alphabet, and my Three glued them to the capital letter F.  As we do this we always talk about the pictures and emphasize the beginning sound.  “Foot!  /f/, /f/, foot.”

My Three was tired of using office stickers for my dot pages, so this week we changed it up and used Do a Dot markers on our F is for Fish page.

I printed these pictures from Learning the Alphabet, and my Seven cut them into puzzles for her younger brother.  This sort of thing can be very frustrating for my Three because he can’t keep the pieces lined up exactly.  So I put glue on the back and we glued them onto cardstock as he pieced them together.

Note to self: next time put glue on the cardstock and not on the back of the pictures.  That way the pictures can be more easily adjusted.

My Three was very resistant to making balls out of play dough, but I kept showing him how to do it and encouraging him to give it a try.  Soon he was having a great time making round fish bubbles with me.

I had hoped to do some letter formation practice with straight objects (since letter F is an easy one to build), but we just didn’t have time.  No matter – this activity was a wonderful one for strengthening those muscles that will eventually be used for writing!

My Three asked several times this week if he could do a “pwoject.”  I confess that with all the preparation for my in-laws’ arrival, I just didn’t have the time or desire to do a lot of messy activities.  But he was thrilled to make this paper plate fish.  He painted the plate all by himself while I was making dinner. I was very surprised that he had the patience to do the whole thing!  We did the rest of the fish after the paint had dried.  Check out the rest of our letter F craft ideas.

These fish bubble counting mats were a big hit!  I got out some clear glass gems, and he counted the bubbles as he covered them with gems.  Such a fun learning activity!

For our sensory play activity, I put some dried beans and rice in a bin and pulled out our Schleich toy animals.   I held up an animal, and he told me whether or not it was a farm animal. If it was a farm animal, it got a place in our farm in a box.  I was pleased by how well he did with this, especially since it wasn’t long ago that he was mixing up raccoons and kangaroos!

We always like to bring it back to the whole alphabet! This week we did this puzzle find activity from I Can Teach My Child.  This kept him busy for a long time!

Finally, we love to read books that feature our letter of the week.  Here are some of our favorites for Letter F, with The Birthday Fish getting my personal vote for the best book!  You can see many more books for letter F in our letter of the week book list.
