To make learning ‘fun’, associate it with something fun and then you can make your child master the most crucial blocks of his early learning life. So, if it is the alphabet that you want your kid to master, introduce them to alphabet coloring sheets as a fun learning activity.
Have you ever wondered how even young kids can hum their favorite songs or the title tracks of their favorite animated series? It’s because they want to remember them, and their desire gives them an incentive to associate these songs and tracks with something they like.
So, to educate your child, you must mask it as edutainment (education + entertainment). While there may be charts and games available online and offline, there can be nothing more fun than giving your child a pack of colors and some fun coloring sheets they can sit with for hours.
Top Alphabet Coloring Pages For Preschoolers
Are you trying hard to get your kid to learn the letters? Is your child too playful for you to get them to concentrate on the alphabet? Here is our pick of some of the best alphabet coloring sheets that will make ABC your child’s best friend. With these coloring sheets, you will see your kids learn a lot more than they would if you sat for hours trying to drill it into them.
1. Alphabet parade
Give the colorful printout of the alphabet parade to your kid and tell them how A, B, and C are their new playmates, who will open up a whole new fun world for them. Get them to color the sheet, cut out each character, and paste it on the ABC collage sheet. Fun characters and colors will soon make your kid want to go ahead and proceed from just ABC to A to Z.
2. My own A to Z chart
Why buy charts from stores to teach the alphabet? A better way to do that is to get your child to create their alphabet chart using one of our alphabet coloring sheets. Using the sheet, not only will they get introduced to characters from A to Z, but also learn associations, for instance, their favorite ‘ice cream’ starts with the letter ‘I.’ A word of caution: Don’t be too embarrassed the next time you are at a grocery store and you hear your kid shout, “Mom, my O for orange!”
3. Guess the alphabet
Now that we have learned how to color the alphabet, it’s time to revise. The guess the alphabet coloring page would be a great tool to get your kid to strengthen their association power. How about a fun game? After your kid is done coloring all the objects in the coloring sheet, you and your kid can play a fun guessing game of which alphabet belongs to which image. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
4. Create your own flash cards
Creating flash cards is a super fun activity you and your child can do as a team. First, print our flash cards coloring page and get your child to color it well. Take a pair of scissors and cut out 26 pieces of thick paper or cardboard. Cut each alphabet along the outline. Tell your child to stick them on pieces of cardboard. This is a great activity for your kid to take back to school and feel proud that they’ve made their first set of flash cards.
5. Small letters
Now that your kid has learned capital letters, it is time to teach them how to write small alphabets. They can easily learn how to write lowercase alphabets as they color the images in each block and simultaneously color the alphabet. It is also a great aid in making their ABC chart. The chart can also help you teach phonetics to your child, with the help of the simple images used for each alphabet.
6. J Alphabet Card
It is a great way for your child to understand different words that start with the letter J. Coloring this alphabet sheet will make your child want to learn words with other alphabets. Kids’ alphabet coloring pages not only help them develop coloring skills, but also improve their vocabulary.
7. All aboard the alphabet train
Which child doesn’t like to play with toy trains? What can be more fun than creating one on your own? Get your kid to color the alphabet on the trains. Cut out these letters and stick them on a hard surface, like styrofoam sheets. You can make the train with small matchboxes and cut out small paper circles to show the wheels. Board the train with your little one to reach the destination where learning meets fun.
8. Star Wars alphabet
Who doesn’t love Star Wars? Our Star Wars alphabet sheet is both for your child and you, after all, it is you or your partner who has seen it the most number of times, right? The sheet has all the Star Wars characters named from A to Z. Color the characters and the alphabet and your child can make their own Star Wars collage for their room.
9. Alphabet mnemonics
Like us, do you also think the alphabet can’t look funny? Well, this coloring page proved us wrong. We bring you these funny alphabet mnemonics that look like cute puppets for your kid to color and laugh as they fill in colors for each. This is an interesting way under an alphabet peg system that helps the kids associate the letter with something they can remember.
10. Alphabet Tree
We all know trees are a man’s best friend for all the natural benefits they provide. But look what we found for your kid! A cute alphabet tree with its arms open toward your kid promising them a fun and learning time. Color the tree and its fruits, that is, the alphabet, with bright and vibrant colors, and cut and paste it on a bulletin board or your kid’s room door for fun.
11. A for Acorn
It is important to tell your child that the alphabet series starts with the letter A, so they don’t make a mistake while singing ABCD. Here, Elmo the Muppet introduces the letter A. He is holding on to acorns, the seeds of oak trees. The nut has a single seed with a leathery shell. It looks unique because it is enclosed in a cup-shaped cupule. Elmo is a furry red monster from the children’s television series ‘Sesame Street.’ If your child loves to watch Elmo’s World, a fifteen-minute segment aimed at toddlers, they will love to color the page even more. In this series, Elmo’s age is three and a half years; he is tiny just like your little one.
12. Polka dotted Z
Your little one surely possesses many polka-dotted outfits; so they will be surprised to find polka dots on the letter Z. They will color this Z to resemble their favorite polka-dotted outfit. Tell them to read out the letter as they color the page.
13. Alphabet soup
Your child will be surprised to see a bowl of alphabet soup drawn in the picture. Ask them to use their imagination while coloring the picture to see what color soup they make out of their imagination. You will surely get a good laugh out of it if it is blue or pink. Correct them without rebuking that the color of soup does vary from yellow to brown, but is never blue or purple. However, it is better not to find logic in what children do; after all, they are small and innocent. In due time, they will lean the correct things, so there is no reason to worry!
14. Alphabet inside hearts
Your child will have a great time coloring the letters inside the hearts. Guide them so that they color each heart with a different color and repeat the letters as they color each little heart. This will help them remember the alphabet in the correct order.
By coloring each heart differently, they can associate all the letters with a particular color. You must pin this coloring page where they study so that by seeing the letters constantly, they will remember them even better.
15. Know more about L
Tell your little one that L not only stands for their favorite lollipop, with the coloring sheet. Tell them the names of many other words that begin with L, like leaf, lamb, lion, leopard, and so on. It is a great way to teach them the names of animals that start with the letter L, so they will remember better. Your kid will also love coloring the cute little lamb with a bow on its neck, as in the picture, and the maple leaf.
16. Animal faced alphabet
We have a cute animal-faced alphabet page, where tiny little mice peep and smile at your kid. Your little one will be compelled to smile back at the little mice. They would want to stick this cute coloring page in their room after coloring the letters m, n, o, p, q, and r.
17. Kids coloring the letters
On the coloring page, your little one can identify with the two little kids painting the letters carefully. The letters act like a ladder for the little girl trying to color the letter A. You can tell your kid that like them, these little children are also learning the letters.
18. Color as it says
Tell your little one to color the picture as instructed to learn what is hidden in it. They will find this coloring activity rewarding because they will get to know what the picture is all about. The suspense and mystery will get them to complete the drawing in record time. Praise them for unraveling the mystery once they complete coloring the picture. Pin it up in their room so they feel proud of their completed work. Always add dates to the pages once completed. This will help you remember what you taught them that day.
19. Jumbled letters
As your child colors this picture ask him to point out different letters and tell which one comes after what. It is a great way to test their alphabet knowledge and how much information they can grasp and remember.
20. V for vegetables
The picture is a great way of introducing different kinds of vegetables to your child. Teach them the names of each vegetable and ask them to repeat the names. Also, guide them when they color the vegetables; make sure they fill in the right colors so they learn what each vegetable looks like. You can also take them to the vegetable market and ask them to help you shop. This will help them learn about vegetables even better. You can also tell them that eating vegetables will make them strong and healthy, as most children are fussy and particular about the food they eat.
21. M for mouse
You can tell how little mice love to eat cheese. You can pick up Disney characters like Jerry, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse as examples. However, make them aware that mice are not as friendly as they seem in cartoons; they are harmful and spread deadly diseases. Although some mice are typically bred to be kept as pets, it is best to stay away from big mice and to keep your home pest-free to ensure safety and good health. Instruct your little one not to run after a mouse or try catching it because it might bite as most rodents do!
22. S for snake
We have a friendly and smiling snake peeping out from the letter S. Take this opportunity to warn your child that snakes are far from friendly; they are dangerous and poisonous.
You can teach them to raise an alarm if they see a snake. The best way is to let the snake go on its way unless it is inside the home. The snake should be removed; even if it is venomous, it is not necessary you have to kill a snake every time you spot it. People have such a deep-rooted fear of snakes that they kill them no sooner than they spot them.
You can explain to your child why these snakes leave their home and come near a human habitat. The main reason is that trees and jungles are being cut down in the name of urban development, so these poor snakes are losing their homes and intruding into poultry farms, where they kill little chicks for food or intruding into homes as unwelcomed guests. It is always better to raise the alarm and leave the snake alone to go on its way because if a snake is provoked, it will bite. To ensure the safety of all at home, stay away from the creature and teach your child not to poke snakes with sticks by mistake.
23. P for Pizza
If your child has tasted pizza, they will love coloring the P for Pizza coloring page! Familiarize them with words that start with p, like peas, peanut, pig, popcorn, prawns, and pineapple. Ask them to repeat after you as they finish coloring the page. You can also ask them to point at the objects on the coloring page and name them. After your child completes coloring the page, stick it in their room so that they remember the letter. You can follow a similar teaching method for all the alphabets. It will make it easy to learn and memorize the alphabet. You can also draw many objects that begin with the letter on a page and give it to them. They will love coloring those objects and adding more words to their ever-growing vocabulary.
24. T for tortoise
Your child will like coloring the cute little tortoise on the coloring page. Guide them so they color the tortoise correctly. You can also tell them the difference between tortoise and turtles. For that, you need to be ready with an answer.
The tortoise is a land-dwelling animal, while the turtle is a water-dwelling animal. Both are reptiles belong to the family of Testudines. The bodies of both animals are shielded with a shell, which gives them protection. The upper part of the turtle’s body is called the carapace and the lower part is known as the plastron. Both the plastron and the carapace are attached by a bridge and can’t be detached, but the head and limbs are withdrawn from the rest of the body. Both turtles and tortoise are reclusive; they withdraw their heads and limbs when touched.
However, the tortoise in the picture looks amiable and cute. You can show pictures of different types of tortoise and turtles in the internet, and help your kid research more about them. You can search about the Galapagos Islands, the home of giant tortoises. It is a fun way of teaching alphabets and different types of animals to kids. Next time you go to the zoo, don’t forget to show your kid what a real turtle looks like.
25. R for robot
Your child might not know about robots when they are small, but you can tell them they are. A robot is an automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it might not look like a human or function like a human. Explain that all electrical equipment is not robotic and it is unsafe to play with electrical gadgets. You can also purchase a robot toy to make the idea more clear.
Your little one will love this robot with the letter R embossed on it. You can also teach them the other words that start with the letter R. If their name starts with R, they will take special care in coloring the letter.
It’s interesting to observe how kids put a lot of effort into their coloring because they feel it is a great way to impress their parents and make them feel proud. So, do away with the old and boring styles of teaching the alphabet to your kid and bring home more fun, interactive, and effective learning aids like these interesting coloring pages.
