What is the learning benefit of this printable?
These winter spelling activities for preschoolers or kindergarteners are the perfect way to have fun learning to match letters and spell new words. The themed words introduce preschoolers or kindergarteners to new winter vocabulary. Little learners can use the various levels included to support their learning level by letter matching, beginning sounds, and spelling words in the blanks provided.
What it includes:
The Winter Letter Tile Printable has two different pages full of winter themed vocabulary, pictures, and letter tile boxes.
There are three versions of each of these letter tile spelling pages:
- a page for letter matching
- a page for beginning sounds
- and a page with blank squares that can be used for spelling with letter tiles, stamping words, or practicing writing the letters
To prepare to use these with your child or students, simply print, laminate, and play with letter tiles.
Unique features of the Winter Letter Tiles Spelling Mat Printable:
Usually, the letter tile spelling mat printables are a list of words and pictures, but one of the winter pages features a picture of a little boy and the words are labeling his winter clothing. This is perfect for a Winter learning theme!
Creative Ideas for Letter Tile Spelling Mats:
- Sensory Bin: Hide the letter tiles needed for the words in snow, rice, or any other favorite sensory bin materials and have the kids search for the letters before they spell. This will make it an extra fun sensory experience in addition to the spelling practice. I try to make the sensory bin material match the season or celebration if possible for an added touch of fun.
- Mystery Grab Bag: Place the letter tiles in a bag. Let the kids place their hands in the bag and pull out a letter and place it on the spelling mat. Don't peek!
- Scoop & Spell: Place the letter tiles in a bowl. Let the kids use a spoon or fine motor play scoop to scoop out the letter and place it on the spelling mat.
- Tweezer Tiles: Place the letter tiles in a bowl. Let the kids use some child-sized fine motor tweezers to pinch the letter tile and place it on the mat.
- Stamping Words: Use alphabet stamps to stamp the letters on the blank pages.
Which Letter Tiles Should I Use?
These letter tile printable pages were designed specifically for the the Eureka Tub of Letter Tiles because it was the product in my own personal cabinets. They are 1-inch x 1-inch square tiles. If you can't find those specific letter tiles, you can also use other brands, but know that the size may be slightly different.
Note: Sometimes the Eureka Tub of Letter Tiles goes out of stock on Amazon and this hand2mind set of letter tiles look like a good alternative choice if you can't find another retailer to purchase the Eureka letter tiles.
