How to Plan Letter U Activites for Preschoolers

The letter U doesn't have quite as many words to choose from when creating letter recognition activities. But there are still plenty of fun letter U activities to do with your preschooler.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Introduce the letter U to your preschooler. Show her the shape of the letter. Discuss the sound the letter U makes and words that start with the letter U.

2. Play with an umbrella. Play in the rain or set up a sprinkler if the weather is nice. Let your child play with the umbrella.
