If you’re on the lookout for letter I activities, you’ll love this round up of playful learning!

(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 I Activities

This round up of letter I activities will give you lots of fun learning ideas... with free printables!

We started the week with My ABC Book: Letter I. I always read the book first, and then he “reads” it to me as he names the pictures. He usually needs help remembering some of them. Not only are these books great for letter recognition, they also build vocabulary!

I drew the shape of an igloo and spread some glue. My Three placed the white squares in a surprisingly neat pattern with just a little help from me at the end (when he’d had enough). Not long ago he’d have glued down five squares and called it done. It’s so fun to see the progress he’s made!

Okay, one guess: what is this craft, and what does it have to do with letter I?

That’s an inchworm. Learn more about it – plus check out the rest of our letter I crafts – in this post

I printed our giant letter I and printed it again on construction paper. I cut apart the pieces to make a puzzle, and he put them together. He’s not ready for handwriting pages yet, so we do these kinds of activities to strengthen his fine motor skills and reinforce the shape of the letter.

This is one of my sound cover pages. We named each picture and listened for the sound at the beginning. If the picture started with the short i sound, we covered it with a poker chip. He really enjoyed this, but it was over his head. I helped him know which pictures to cover.

I made this ice cream file folder game, and he counted the sprinkles. He could do all the cones up to 8 sprinkles. He needed my help counting 9 and 10 dots.

For this fill the bug jar activity, he rolled a die and kept adding bugs until it was full.

Making these giant ice cream cones was so much fun. Learn more about them (and even more letter I math activities!) in this post.

For a whole alphabet activity, I printed this letter find page. He covered the letters with clear plastic counters. Those were a recent purchase, and I love them! It’s awesome that you can see through them because it’s easy for him to to check his work. He liked naming the letters as he hunted for the i’s.

And this was our letter I sensory fun. I just recycled our gardening bin from letter G week and threw in a magnifying glass, a bug catcher, and some plastic insects. He had fun digging around.

Finally, we did this name activity from Teach Preschool. Harder paper puzzles frustrate my Three, so this was perfect!
