Tips for Using the Letter Z Worksheets
Download and print these letter Z preschool worksheets and keep them in a folder for quick activities to pull out when you need something fun and educational.
- Assemble a Z book: Staple together all of the letter Z worksheets, with a few blank pages at the back. Use these extra pages to draw pictures of Z items or cut out and paste in pictures from magazines you have at home.
- Make Z puzzles: After coloring the pictures, cut them into pieces and see how long it takes to reassemble them. Keep the pieces in individual baggies for a new set of DIY puzzles.
- Make a Z collage: Have children cut out their letter Zs and letter Z images from the worksheets. Glue them on to a larger piece of paper, leaving space for them to try writing the letter Z on their own. Challenge them to try writing a few letter Z words and drawing pictures of more things that start with the last letter of the alphabet.
