Letterland Canada

Red Robot– Finger paint with red paint. Trace an “r” and have children cut it out. Haved the children cut out a roller skate, and glue it onto the bottom of the letter.

Sammy Snake – Place stickers on Sammy’s shape to indicate scales. This activity can also be used with two or three colours of stickers to test pattern comprehension – we teachers are so sneaky!

Talking Tess – Glue toothpicks on Tess’s shape.

Uppy Umbrella – Cut umbrellas shapes out of fingerpaint paper. Sprinkle with different powdered paint colours. Have children make rain by dripping water on with an eye-dropper. Watch the colours run! Glue a black “u” to the bottom to form a handle.

Vicky Violet – Make violets from paper (with tissue paper leaves) and a pipecleaner; add faces. Cut out a vase in the form of the letter “v” from black construction paper, and fill the space with blue tissue paper. Place the flowers in the “water”.

Walter Walrus – Cut out a large “W” and have children paint it with watercolours. You can add blue tissue water wells if you wish.

Fix-It Max – Have the children make a card and sign their name, adding x’s and o’s for kisses and hugs. This letter is often introduced around Father’s Day, so it fits in perfectly.

Yellow Yo-Yo Man - Have the children use yellow yarn to sew along Yo-Yo Man’s letter.

Zig Zag Zebra – Paint black stripes on white bristol board cut in a “z” shape – add eyes, a mouth, and pipecleaner legs.
