Recognizing letters is something that comes so easily to most adults and even older children, but for preschoolers and kindergartners that isn’t always the case. There are many letters that my {almost} kindergartner can recognize and even know the sound of. Some letters, though, she confuses with others or just doesn’t know. That is where activities, like these fun color by letter printables, come into play. For any child that even remotely likes to color, these free printables are sure to be a hit!

Beach Themed Color By Letter Printables

In May our family went on a vacation with my parents and sister’s family. My husband, daughter and I live in the land locked Midwest. So the first thing we did after the plane touched down in sunny California, was drive straight to the beach.

Since drawing from experiences of children can make learning even more fun, when I was trying to think of a fun theme for this color by letter activity, I knew I had to use the beach as inspiration!

To start this activity all you need is your child’s favorite coloring utensils and the printable set which can be downloaded at the end of the post.

There are two different pictures in this set, but each of the pages have different letters for a total of 5 different sheets.

I wanted the pictures to be busy enough to make finding the letters a challenge, but not so cluttered that it made it impossible for kids to actually color the sheets.

Each page has a list of 6 colors on the top: Blue, Green, Red, Purple, Orange, and Yellow. Each color has a letter assigned (each page having different sets of letters).

Below the grid is the picture. Each object in the picture has an assigned letter.

Kids can use the guide on the top to know which color to choose when coloring the picture, based on the letter assigned. For kids who don’t yet read color words, I recommend coloring the key together as a class first, that way they can see which color to use for which letter.

You will notice that some letters are repeated, such as b, p, d, and q. That is because these letters are often tricky for students since their strokes and look are so similar, so they are repeated on separate pages to provide more practice.

Benefits Of This Activity

Through this activity children are strengthening letter recognition skills, while having fun in the process. As an added bonus, this activity is also helping children to follow a guide and follow directions, as well as building hand muscles and pencil grip.

More Challenging Ideas

For more of a challenge, you could ask the child, before coloring, to:

  • Say the letter sound.
  • Write the letter on a separate sheet of paper.
  • Say words that begin with that specific letter.
  • Write words that start with that specific letter.
