5 Fun Activities for the Letter S
The letter we are studying right now is the letter S! Since it’s spring and soon to be summer, I thought it would appropriate to study S and do some FUN activities around this letter.
First of all, we did 3 crafts with the letter S. Our first one was creating a snake out of this letter. To make this craft, just cut out the letter S out of construction paper. Then stamp it with Do-a-Dot markers. We added two googley eyes and a red tongue and I actually think he’s pretty cute!
Next, we decorated the letter S with colored sand! It was very simple. We smeared glue on the S and then sprinkled 3 colors of sand. It was a great sensory activity, too!
Our last craft used sport stickers. I don’t know about your kids, but my kids are obsessed with stickers! They love collecting them and it’s a treat to be able to play with them. Both kids got in on this craft!
We will be adding our letter S to our alphabet book.
The next activity I created is an activity to help kids learn the sound of the letter S. Through dialogue, I talked with Troy about what S sounds like. Then we talked about different objects and people who start with the letter S. For more practice, I made this activity.
This activity helps a child listen to sounds in the beginning of a word. Once they decide which object starts with S, they put a clothespin on it. This is also great practice for fine motor skills!

The last activity is a math activity. My oldest is really into superheroes. I thought since superheroes starts with the letter S, I could make this into a math game. I created a counting activity where Troy had to count the superheroes and choose the correct number with a clothespin. This is a great activity for working on counting, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor skills.

These last two activities would be great to laminate and use over again.
I hope these craft ideas and printables will be helpful to you!
These are all great ideas. I will be doing a couple with my son and definitely the sound one will be one of them. They are studying the Letter S in school now. Thanks for sharing.
I love these! I would be interested in them for all the letters of the alphabet! I actually am looking at making some of my own and would like to have them match yours; what font did you use for these ones? Thank you so much!
We just posted “S is for Snow”, We would love for you to add your “letter S” post to our letter S linky party. http://www.jugglingwithkids.com/2013/10/s-is-for-snow.html Hope to see you there! 🙂
I definitely like your S activities! I think we might be able to use them this summer. I am hoping to do an alphabet review!
