Make learning the lowercase letter i exciting and interactive with these fun Letter i activities that pair perfectly with your Igloo Craft! 

Whether you’re teaching in the classroom or learning at home, these ideas help preschool and kindergarten kids build letter recognition, fine motor skills, and creativity through winter-themed fun.

1. Read Winter & Arctic-Themed Storybooks

Pair your craft with cozy winter stories that help children connect the letter i with igloos, ice, and icebergs. Great choices include:

• The Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett
• Snow by Cynthia Rylant
• Over in the Arctic by Marianne Berkes
• The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats

Encourage kids to listen for words that begin with i — igloo, ice, icy, inside — and practice the short “ih” sound.

2. Learn Igloo & Arctic Animal Facts

Turn your lowercase i igloo craft into a mini Arctic adventure! Teach kids:

• Igloos are built from blocks of packed snow
• People used igloos as temporary winter shelters
• Arctic animals like polar bears and seals live in icy areas
• Snow can actually act as insulation

You can even show photos or videos of real igloos to spark curiosity.

3. Create a Breakfast or Snack-Themed Alphabet Wall

Display your students’ juice crafts on your alphabet wall labeled j is for juice.
Brighten it with:

• fruit cutouts (oranges, apples, strawberries)
• letter j tracing cards
• colorful juice cups

You’ll end up with a cheerful “Snack Time Alphabet” bulletin board!

4. Letter of the Week: j Is for Juice

If you’re focusing on a Letter of the Week, this craft fits perfectly alongside other j-activities like:

• j is for jellyfish
• j is for jar
• j is for jam
• j is for jump (gross motor!)

Add sensory play (jelly bin!), tracing sheets, and phonics practice to round out the week.
