Alphabet Coloring Pages for Toddlers and Preschoolers · Bubble Letters · Page 1 @ First-School.ws
This is a good starter coloring page format to present the alphabet to toddlers and preschoolers featuring friendly and large images with bubble letters that are easy to paint or color.
Materials and suggestions toddlers and preschoolers:
fingerpaints, fingerpaint paper (cut & resize to fit printer) or regular computer paper, dot markers, large washable markers, or large crayons
Color practice: Each image requires two to four colors. A Crayola brand 24-count box has all the colors needed. (view color chart)
Optional: Print to light blue paper, it's a nice natural background.
Optional: For repeated use, insert in sturdy non-glare sheet protectors and use washable erasable large markers or crayons. Snap photos with your mobile device.
If you are starting out to engage with children in this age group, one of the most effective ways to motivate them to paint and color is to participate in the activity with them. Young children love to emulate their beloved caregivers. Children will learn by observing what you do. If you have a mobile device, search for an image of the animal, so children can see what the real animal looks like, and they get to learn what is real vs. a drawing or cartoon image.
Forming good habits early on is important, so encourage children to trace or paint the letter using the proper writing sequence. When we write letters correctly, we write faster, maintain proper spacing, and is legible.
Each letter has a link to related lesson plans, and/or printable crafts to present and reinforce letter recognition.
