These wooden alphabet tiles are another great alternative for when your students are ready to start building words.

Alphabet Playdoh Mats

These interactive mats are great for preschool or kindergarten! They include both upper and lowercase letters, and students can use play dough to form the shape of the individual letters for a more hands-on, tactile learning experience. They also include images to help build their understanding of letter sounds.

These would be great to use in preschool or kindergarten!

Alphabet Stamps

These playdough lowercase and uppercase stamps are great for alphabet matching and playdough activities. Since the letters are stamps, students can use them to stamp out the alphabet with lowercase and uppercase letters!

Once students are ready, I also love to use these playdough stampers with task cards to create CVC and CCVC CVCC words.

My students also love getting to use these little letter stamps, too! Although it can get messy, they're the perfect size for literacy centers.

These letter, name, and number tracing mats will help your students practice their fine motor skills while learning to form lowercase letters, write out the numbers, and even spell their names.

I like to tuck each tracing letter worksheet into a plastic sleeve for students to use repeatedly!
