Exciting Snowman Find and Color the Letter Mats Freebie
Looking for a fun, wintery activity to practice letter recognition? This printable alphabet activity is very low-prep and would be perfect for literacy centers or morning work tubs. Take a look at everything the Snowman Find and Color the Letter Mats have to offer.
The amazing thing about these find and color the letter pages is that they can be differentiated for students at all different levels.
Snowman Find and Color the Letter Mats
These snowman find and color sheets are offered in color or black and white. Then, there are printable snowball cards with corresponding uppercase letters on them, as well as beginning sounds picture cards to match each letter.
This allows for simple differentiation. Students working on letter identification can use the letter cards and students who are ready to work on letter sounds and beginning sound isolation, can use the picture cards. In addition, you can mix them up and use both. There are lots of ways to use this resource!
This activity is perfect for teaching upper and lowercase letter recognition with preschool and kindergarten students during small groups or independent center times.
If you have students who don’t like to color, try this!
Place the snowman pages into write and wipe pockets or laminate them. Then, give the students a dry-erase marker to cross off the letters they find instead of coloring them.
Are they still working on fine motor skills? Give them a manipulative to mark off their letters for an even easier way to play. You can use an eraser, counter, pom pom, or buttons!

How to Use the Snowman Find and Color the Letter Mats
Place a pile of uppercase letter cards or picture cards in front of your students. They will pull one card at a time and determine what they see. Then, they will locate the matching lowercase letter on their mat and color it in (or cover it up).
They continue drawing cards until all of their letters are colored!
Because of the simple and easy-to-follow steps, many kids will be able to do this independently – which makes it perfect for your literacy centers or for independent morning work. Especially when you consider the fact that it can be differentiated for lots of different levels and abilities and can be modified for kids who don’t like coloring.
