I’m excited to share this super fun Christmas activity with you today! These gumdrop letter mats make learning the alphabet letters fun and interactive, and I know your students will love it!
Materials Needed

Prep Work
This gumdrop letter mats activity is a print-and-go! You can print the pages onto cardstock paper and laminate them for durability. When you’re ready for the activity, simply set out a bowl of gumdrops or pom poms.
Activity Details
For this activity, students will place a gumdrop onto every circle for each uppercase and lowercase letter. Once they fill one letter mat, they can choose a new letter mat!
These gumdrop letter mats are perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Not only will students practice learning the alphabet, but they will also work on fine motor skills! It may take some concentration to fill in the circles, but this is an essential skill for young children to work on.
