Preschool Letter C Printable Activities & Crafts

Welcome to our Preschool Letter C Printable Activities week!

It’s our third week into our Preschool Letter of the Week, and Filip is now quite familiar with the activities and worksheets we do. I love that he can complete some tasks independently, and I am sure he enjoys the fact that I do not have to explain quite as much anymore. Still, to keep things fresh and exciting, I try to add something new each week.

Throughout this blog post, I have linked the resources I have used to either my Google Drive, my online store or another blog where I got that particular download. You can access the downloads by clicking on the photos or links.

Here is how our week unfolded using these Preschool Letter C Printable Activities.

Preschool Letter C Printable Activities: Day 1

We began with our beginning sounds basket for the letter C. I filled a basket with toys and household items that begin with the hard “c” sound, as in cat. To keep things simple, we are focusing only on initial letter sounds right now, so I did not introduce the soft “c” sound, as in city

Next, Filip finger traced the Letter C Alphabet Play Dough Mat. He immediately looked for the dot that shows the starting point for forming the letter, which made me smile. After finger tracing, he used whiteboard markers to trace both uppercase C and lowercase c.

He then completed an uppercase and lowercase letter recognition worksheet, using bingo dabbers to dot paint the letters. He worked independently on this activity.

When I showed him the pre writing practice sheets from From the Pond, he did not wait for instructions. He pulled out his fruit scented markers and got started straight away.

Filip asked for more “school work,” so I gave him a beginning sounds colouring page that I had printed earlier. He happily used watercolours to complete it.

We also completed our Letter of the Week craft. For uppercase C, we made clouds using cotton balls. For lowercase c, we created a crab with two googly eyes. The templates are linked in the post if you would like to use them.

Preschool Letter C Activities and Crafts: Day 2

We started Day 2 with a new activity that we called our pin board letter activity. I wrote a lowercase c on the pin board, and Filip pushed pins through the tiny holes to form the letter. This was wonderful for strengthening his fine motor skills.

We swapped out our vocabulary cards this week and used my Beginning Sounds Scoops instead. He preferred these over the previous vocabulary cards, perhaps because sorting three scoops per letter felt more manageable.

We also completed a beginning sounds worksheet. He placed stickers on the pictures that started with C and stamped the rest.

Then it was time for the flip book. Filip absolutely loves making these booklets. I think he is motivated by the idea of reading them to Sam when he comes home from work.

After assembling the flip book, we read it together several times. Then he attempted to read it independently while pointing to the words. It was at this moment that I realised he needs more practice with 1 to 1 correspondence. He was pointing to each letter in the word rather than each word. Since we are not focusing on sight words yet, I am not concerned about word recall. Our focus is still on letter sounds. But it did remind me that I need to find a fun way to practise pointing to each word when reading.

He also played the Alphabet Find It game with Cami this week.

Preschool Letter C: Day 3

On Day 3, we tried a new sensory tracing activity. Instead of tracing directly on the play dough mat, I placed some hair gel mixed with food colouring into a zip lock bag and taped it shut. Filip used his finger to trace the letter C over the mat placed underneath the bag.

His first words were, “Where’s the dot?” That is when I realised I had added too much gel and too much food colouring. If you try this at home, start with small amounts. It is easy to add more gel but not so easy to remove it. Once I smoothed the gel to one side so the starting dot was visible, he had lots of fun with this activity.

During the week, I also created a set of Alphabet Counting Puzzle Mats, and Filip completed the letter C puzzle.

Next, he worked on an alphabet maze worksheet, and this time he followed the C–c–C–c pattern correctly. That felt like a big win.

He also completed a beginning sounds cut and paste worksheet, followed by a Q tip letter page. Instead of using paint this time, I suggested using small sticker gems, which he carefully placed along the letter.

By Friday, he proudly gathered all his work to present to Sam.

Preschool Letter C Printable Activities Completed

And just like that, our Preschool Letter C Printable Activities week was complete.

Each week, I can see his confidence growing. He recognises the routine, understands what is expected, and still finds joy in the activities. That makes all the preparation worthwhile.
