Make learning the lowercase letter u upbeat and exciting with these playful Letter u activities that pair perfectly with your Ukulele Craft!
These ideas help preschool and kindergarten learners build letter recognition, fine motor skills, phonics, and creativity through music-themed hands-on learning.
1. Read Music & Instrument-Themed Storybooks

- Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin! by Lloyd Moss
- The Music in Me by Sophy Henn
- Poppy and Mozart by Magali Le Huche

2. Explore Real Instruments
Turn your lowercase u ukulele craft into a tiny music lesson!
You can:
- Show kids a real ukulele (if available)
- Let them strum it gently
- Talk about guitar vs. ukulele size
- Teach how music is made by vibrating strings
Or play a short ukulele sound clip and let them “dance like strings.”
3. Build a Musical Alphabet Wall
Add your completed ukulele crafts to an alphabet wall labeled u is for ukulele and decorate it with:
- music notes
- colorful strings
- tiny paper instruments
- dancing stick figures
It creates an energizing alphabet display your kids will LOVE looking at.
4. Letter of the Week: u Is for Ukulele
This craft works beautifully for Letter U Week along with:
- u is for underwater
- u is for up
- u is for umbrella (your earlier craft!)
Add tracing worksheets, a “walk UNDER the tape line” activity, and a find-the-letter-U scavenger hunt to expand the learning.
