Magna Tile Lowercase Letter Cards

Learning alphabet letters through hands-on activities is a fun and effective way to learn! One way you can do that is with magnetic tiles. I’ve created Magna Tile Lowercase Letter Cards to help with this!
To do this activity, you’ll need two things:
- alphabet cards (find the printable at the end of this post)
- magnetic tiles, such as Magna Tiles or Picasso Tiles
Children can use the printable to guide them as they create the letters. You do not have to use the printable, but it’s helpful to follow if you’re unsure how to make the letters.
The printable shares an example for each alphabet letter, as well as an animal that starts with that letter.
Ways to Use This Printable
- At home for a fun activity
- In the classroom at a literacy center
- In a small group of kids for learning to work cooperatively
- Build the letters on a magnetic surface, like a refrigerator
There is one page per letter in this printable. I’ve also put together a “cheat sheet” for you, that contains all the letters on 3 pages for easy reference.

I saw these in my mail last week but didn’t have time to look at them Today I searched to find them because I LOVE magna tiles, as do the kids! I was so sad when I saw a few of the pictures and words that were chosen for this activity.
g- giraffe- this can be confusing -same sound as j/soft g (giraffe/jellyfish)
o-owl- kind of blends in with the w and doesn’t have a true /o/ sound (a diphthong)
u-urchin- r-controlled – sounds like /er/ rather than /u/
maybe goldfish, ostrich and umbrellabird? 🙂 I had to google for that one! lol!
LOVE the idea!!

Great suggestion! I actually had a contributor make this printable for me. You are right…the animals chosen for those three letters are confusing. I will try to fix that ASAP!
Dear Angela-
Thank you for the lower case magna tile printables. I have your upper case and the kiddos will love these.
