Make learning the lowercase letter w wonderful and engaging with these fun Letter w activities that pair perfectly with your Whale Craft!
These ideas help preschool and kindergarten learners practice letter recognition, phonics, fine motor skills, and creativity while exploring ocean-themed fun.
1. Read Whale & Ocean-Themed Storybooks
Bring your craft to life with a cozy ocean-themed storytime! Great picks include:
- Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies
- If You Want to See a Whale by Julie Fogliano
- Whale in a Fishbowl by Troy Howell
- The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson
Encourage kids to listen for words starting with w — whale, water, wave, wind, wiggle — to reinforce the “w” sound.
2. Learn Fun Whale Facts
Turn your lowercase w whale craft into a mini science lesson! Teach kids that:
- Whales are mammals, not fish
- They breathe air through blowholes
- Whales can be HUGE — the blue whale is the biggest animal on Earth!
- Baby whales are called calves
Kids love pretending to blow “whale water” by puffing air upward like a blowhole!
3. Create an Ocean Alphabet Wall
Display your finished whale crafts on an alphabet wall labeled w is for whale.
Add ocean touches like:
- waves
- fish
- shells
- ocean plants
This creates a calming and beautiful alphabet wall your kids will adore.
4. Letter of the Week: w Is for Whale
If you’re doing Letter of the Week, this craft pairs well with other w-themed activities:
- w is for water
- w is for wind
- w is for worm (you already have this craft!)
