Alphabet Turkeys: Match Capital and Lowercase Letters

Alphabet Turkeys

 

Match capital and lowercase letters with these alphabet turkeys. Use any word (like “Thanksgiving” or “Give Thanks”). It is great reinforcement for matching capital and lowercase letters! Or you can even help your child practice recognizing the capital and lowercase letters in his/her own name!

 

Name Turkeys

 

Here’s what you’ll need:  construction paper, a piece of cardstock (to make the template for the feathers), scissors, glue, and googly eyes.

 1. Cut out your turkey body and use the cardstock template to make feathers in every color.

    This is SO CLEVER. I absolutely love it. I think I’ll do it with my preschooler with the letters of his name. Thanks for the great idea.
