Learning letters and letter sounds can be difficult for some kids, especially if they process information better through hands on activities. Making a letter craft gives kids the opportunity to cut, color, pinch, use fine motor skills (and more) while learning about letters. Such a fun way to learn! This alphabet letter T craft is perfect for ballet lovers, check out the book list at the bottom of this post for supplemental reading and add this to your letter of the week unit, or simply make it for fun at home.

This letter T craft for kids encourages fine motor skills such as cutting and pasting, all while learning about the shape and sound of the letter T.
