Pencil Alphabet Puzzles

8/7/2017

The free membership printable this week is pencil alphabet puzzles for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then cut on the line in the center of each puzzle to make two halves and laminated all pieces.

I separated the eraser halves from the pencil tip halves and mixed up the letters in each pile. I made upper to upper ... lower to lower ... upper to lower case puzzles.

In this activity the children pick a pencil half and then find the other half with the same letter. Play continues until pencil halves have been matched.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday August 13th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added the pencil number puzzles.

fish number puzzles for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is fish number puzzles which is great for number recognition and review. I printed the patters on cardstock paper and cut the fish out. I then laminated them and cut along the line on each fish to make two halves.

I mixed up the numbers and made two piles ... one for the fish heads and one for the fix tails. I made the puzzles with numbers 0-30 so you can choose which numbers and how many you want to put out for your early learners.

In this activity the children find the fish halves with the same number and put them together. Play continues until all number have been matched.
