Squirrel Alphabet Matching Activity

by Angela Thayer 8 Comments

I am excited to share this cute squirrel alphabet activity with you today! This activity is great for preschoolers to practice matching uppercase letters to lowercase letters. My little one really enjoyed this activity and it was an easy way to practice this skill!

Alphabet Matching Activity

Identifying alphabet letters and matching the uppercase letter to the lowercase letter are skills that will help prepare your child to read. This game is simple and a fun way to practice these skills!

Here’s what you need:

  • squirrel alphabet game
  • scissors
  • sensory bin (optional)
  • crayons or do-a-dot marker

To set this game up, start by printing the alphabet printable and cutting out the alphabet cards. In a sensory bin, bury the uppercase alphabet cards. The bin is optional and you can alternatively place the cards in a pile. We used a sensory bin with popcorn kernels and acorns.

For the activity, have your child find an uppercase alphabet card. Then look for the matching lowercase letter on the printable. Color in the acorn with crayons or stamp with a do-a-dot marker.

Continue coloring in the acorns until they are all filled in!

    I have 3 year olds, this would be nice if it was all capital letters.

      That is a good idea! I will work on that and add it to the post so you can have that version.

    Did you by chance lose the lower case acorns while accommodating the guests who asked for all upper case?? This is a great activity for my Preschool 4s.
    If there are lower case acorns could you repost?

    Thanks for a terrific website and blog- I enjoy it each week.
