We are at the end of the alphabet, everyone! Letter Z week is here and I have found a bunch of fun ways to teach the letter Z to your kids that you are going to love! When we think of the letter Z, of course the typical animal who is practically the mascot of the letter, the zebra. There are some zebra activities here, but I tried to find others as well so you can create the perfect curriculum for your little ones. Here are some fun ways to introduce the letter Z at home.
10+ Ways to Introduce the Letter Z
Crafts:
Make these Zig Zag tracks for cars from Brilliant Beginnings Preschool and not only have fun making it, but also working on fine motor skills.
Here’s a simple Letter Z Zebra Craft from Crystal & Co.
Printables:
For practice writing the letter Z, print off this handy Practice Printing the letter Z printable from Kids’s Learning Station.
This combination color, trace and identify printable from KB Teachers is a good one to do several different activities on.
Activities:
Take a trip to the zoo. It doesn’t have to be a major one, either. If you have a local one that is small, this might even be better on your wallet and for lessons, too.
Try a letter Z Scavenger hunt. Place items like a zipper, zucchini, zebra (plastic toy) or number Zero in a room and have your child find them. This idea comes from Confessions of a Homeschooler.
