Using some of our old magazines, we went on a letter hunt the first week of homeschool. Since Jonah still really needs more practice cutting, I helped cut some of the words for him (maneuvering magazines and scissors was a little difficult and frustrating) and then he cut the letters apart. Other than my minimal cutting help, he did this activity independently.

It was a good chance to talk about letters and different fonts. “Look at this funny A! It has a hook on the top and a big belly!” We also looked through The Funny Font Book that I made last year.
Since we had so much fun with this activity, I thought I’d share it with you! Grab an old magazine or newspaper and take your little one on a letter hunt!

You are more than welcome to:
- Save the files on your computer and print off copies for yourself (or classroom) whenever you would like.

I would ask that you DO NOT:
- Host any of my files on your own or other sites.
- Alter or sell any of my file. The intention behind the files is to provide them free of charge to others.
- Sell files to make a profit ~ i.e. print them off, laminate them and sell them to others.
- Transmit or store any resources on any other website or other form of electronic retrieval system.
Thank you in advance for respecting my policies!

Sara, I LOVE this activity!!! Easy to implement, but packed full of literacy language…especially about letters. I bet you could also make one for numbers.
Thanks Becky! I actually have a numbers page in the works! Thanks for spreading the word.
