Printable Apple Upper And Lowercase Letter Matching Puzzles
Boost letter recognition with these printable apple upper and lowercase matching puzzle cards! Perfect for preschoolers, these letter puzzles are a must for fall fun and learning.
Fall is my favorite season. The cooler air and brightly colored leaves make it such a fun time to be outside.
But it's also special because it's a time of harvest; from apples to pumpkins, gardens, farmers markets, and grocery stores are filled with fresh fall food.
Of course, it's the perfect time to learn about these foods.
If you're learning about apples with your kids this fall, these cute apple-themed letter-matching cards are perfect for teaching letter recognition.
A great way to add some fun, hands-on learning to your fall activities, along with these apple-themed word cards and fun apple story books.
Materials

Paper or card stock: Print on good-quality printer paper if you plan to laminate the cards. Otherwise, using card stock will help the activity cards to last longer.
Laminator and laminating pouches (optional)
Paper trimmer or scissors
How To Prepare
Download and print the apple letter matching cards onto regular paper (use cardstock if you're not going to laminate).
Cut them apart and place them into your laminator pouches, leaving a little space between each card.
Once the laminator sheets have cooled, cut them apart and round the corners so they aren't sharp.
Ideas For Using Apple Letter Puzzles
There are so many fun ways you can use these letter puzzle cards.
Alphabet Matching Game:
Shuffle the cards and place them face down. Have your kids take turns flipping two cards and matching the upper and lower case letters. If a match is made, the player keeps the pair. The one with the most pairs wins.
Alphabet Hunt:
Hide the cards around the house or yard and have your kids search for them. Once they find them all, they can match the upper and lower case letters.
Upper and Lower Case Sort:
Mix all the cards and have your children sort them into two piles: upper case and lower case.
Alphabet Order:
Have your children arrange the upper case cards in alphabetical order, then find and match each lower case card to its upper case counterpart.
Letter Sound Association:
As your child picks up a card, ask them to say the sound the letter makes. Then, have them name a word that starts with that letter sound.
Incorporate Writing Practice:
After matching, have your child write the upper and lowercase letters.
