This resource contains a set of 26 lower case letters with 3D shapes in black and white.
If you are teaching or have taught letters and 3D shapes, here are some extra resources for your pupils to colour in and/or cut out and stick into their workbooks or on a separate sheet of paper.
The letters are on whole pages in two sizes - A4 and 8.5 x 11".
Just print off :-)
Suggested Uses:
Children colour in the shapes and the background and then they can draw things beginning with that letter.
Children colour in the shapes only and then cut around the letter and stick into their workbooks.
You could cut out the letter and stick into their workbooks or on a separate sheet of paper with handwriting guidelines for children to practise writing the letter and then colour in.
After colouring in the letter, children can list the 3D shapes they see and the more able can put them into abc order.
Some children may be able to draw 3D objects beginning with that letter, e.g. ‘b’ bun, ball, balloon.
3D Shapes: cube, rectangular prism/cuboid, cylinder, sphere, hemisphere, square-based pyramid, triangular prism, cone and tetrahedron.
