Ideas for Easy Preschool Paper Letter A Craft

We’re glad to share with you these amazing ideas on how to maximize the use of free printable letter A craft templates with your kids.

1. Great ABC Books for Kids

It’s important to encourage our children to read at an early stage.

Reading to your kids begins to teach them to recognize the sounds and rhythm of language while being relaxed.

The more your kids enjoy reading, the more they will be motivated to read by themselves.

Here are a few lists of my child’s favorite alphabet books that can be paired with this free printable letter A craft template.

• Andy the Alligator Learns His Abc’s
• Wild Animal Babies: An Alphabet Book
• A is For Alaska: Know My State Alphabet Picture Book For Kids | Learn ABC & Discover America States (Discover America States By Alphabet)
• I Am the Alphabet: An ABC Book for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners (I Am Learning: Educational Series for Kids)

2. Interesting Alligator Facts

Take an imaginary trip to the zoo, when you make this easy cut-and-paste printable letter A for alligator craft template.

Here are some of the interesting facts about the alligator that would be perfect to discuss with your kids as part of the lesson plans.

Did you know alligators belong to the reptile family?

Which means that they are cold-blooded, have a backbone, and are covered in super dry, scaly skin.

Did you know that there are two types of alligators in the world?

The American alligator and the Chinese alligator.

Did you know that alligators are top predators in their environment?

They don’t have a preference for what they eat.

Did you know that the temperature of each alligator egg will determine if it’s a male or female?

Amazing, isn’t it?

It’s a male in warmer temperatures while a female in cooler temperatures.

3. Alphabet Bulletin Board Décor

Making this easy cut and paste letter A for alligator craft template brings so much and what’s best is, it can be used to decorate the classroom’s bulletin board.

Let your preschool and kindergarten have the best time in cutting and gluing the alligator pieces.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the clothespin at the back of each finished alligator craft – be sure to supervise them in using a hot glue gun or do it for them.

Add decorative items such as glitters, beads and sequins to make the alligator craft stand out.

Pin a memo or sticky note using this cute alligator craft or simply display it in the bulletin board.

4. Letter of the Week: Letter A
