Letter O Crafts for Preschool & Kindergarten

Looking for Letter O crafts to use with kids ages 3-5? Check out this collection of 10 fun projects!

I shared this post years ago, when my children were young. I love looking back at the fun things we did to fill our days as I taught my kids the alphabet! I highly recommend doing sensory, art, and fine motor activities with your preschooler simply because it’s fun. These activities also provide opportunities to develop oral language and other early literacy skills. However, please note that research tells us that direct instruction in letters and sounds is the most efficient way to teach and learn the alphabet. Find our full alphabet curriculum here.

Orange Stamping

While the older kids stayed outside a bit longer, my freezing Two decided he’d had enough. He had fun doing orange stamping all by himself at the kitchen table. The nice thing about orange stamping is you can eat the fruit before you paint. Learn more about citrus stamping at Blog Me Mom.

Lid Prints

I got out a variety of lids (canning rings, milk caps, sippy cup top) and showed my Two how to dip them in paint and stamp O’s on his paper. He loved this!

Ramona Paper Bag Owl

My daughter loves the Ramona books just like I did as a kid, so I pulled out her copy of Ramona the Brave and read the kids the chapter about the owl that Ramona created (and Susan copied). Then my Three made his own. Stamping the letter v’s was his favorite part. To see a tutorial for this craft, visit Cindy DeRosier: My Creative Life.

O is for Orange

Easiest craft ever! Just give your child an O cut out of orange paper and let him go to town with a bottle of glue and your craft drawer. We dug out colored pasta, craft feathers, foam shapes, buttons, and craft sticks.

Paper Plate Owls

Okay, not a lot of personal creativity for this craft, but they’re so fun! My Three and Six each painted their plates. The next day we cut apart one plate for the wings, added the faces, and connected the wings with brass fasteners so the owls could fly.

O is for Ocean

My Two, Three, and Five enjoyed decorating O’s with ocean stickers. Simple, but effective at teaching the sound of long O. For a more creative version of this craft, visit The Attached Mama.

O is for Octopus

Did you know I did an entire Letter of the Week series at Crystal & Company? Check out the tutorial and get the pattern for this octopus craft.

Milk Cap Lid Ocean Scene

My Five regretted opting out of this project when he saw how much fun his brother and sister had. Of course it was the puffy paint that made it extra fun. 🙂 Learn more about this craft over at I {Heart} Crafty Things.

Handprint Ocean Scene

Looking for Letter O crafts to use with kids ages 3-5? Check out this collection of 10 fun projects!

This is my personal favorite! Not only because of how cute they turned out, but because my kids brought a lot of creativity to the project. We painted the ocean on one day. Another day each of my kids made handprints all over a piece of paper. When they had dried, they chose which handprints they wanted for their ocean and went to work. Dried beans and ripped construction paper complete the scene. See our inspiration over at Mrs. Karen’s Preschool Ideas.

Owl Paper Craft

I think these are adorable, but I have to say I think it was a better craft for my Two than my Three. My Three was just following directions and using very little creativity of his own, but for my just-turned-Two it was practice in basic crafting: (applying glue and placing the pieces down) as well as a mental challenge: where do the eyes/feet/beak go?
