Letter Z Activities for 2-year-olds

Read on for fun letter Z activities for 2-year-olds!

We did it! We made it to the last week of our series of alphabet activities for toddlers.

We had to keep our activities short this week. That’s because I was cleaning the house for overnight guests, which always takes a couple of days.  After seven years of work, my husband is graduating with his PhD (yay!).

Thankfully, my daughter already knew letter Z’s name at the beginning of the week – so there was no need to do more than a handful of activities.

Here is a very simple art activity, and the only one we did for the week: Zero prints! We used a canning ring and washable tempera paint.

My daughter loves these letter find pages! We do them with a Do-a-dot marker.

Now that we’ve been doing alphabet activities for over a year, I pulled out this advanced activity from Letters of Literacy. My daughter pulled block letters (from this great toy) out of a pot, located them on the page, and colored them.

Actually, we took turns coloring the letters, because she didn’t feel like doing it all herself.

I thought that she might enjoy helping me make play dough letters. This wasn’t her favorite, though, so we only did a couple pages. It’s still very hard for her to roll play dough snakes by herself, so I did most of the rolling. You can find these pages at 123 Homeschool 4 Me.

We’ve done very few focused math activities with this series because my daughter simply wasn’t ready for them. But she did like doing these zoo counting mats with me. I counted aloud as she placed each gem on the circles.

Finally, here’s a great vocabulary builder! I named the pictures, and she covered them using poker chips. You can get these picture cards (plus some colorful letter cards) in the free download below.
