Big Letter A

Filling almost the entire sheet, this giant uppercase letter A is a thick block shape with loads of open space inside and a few small stars plus a smiling sun tucked into the corners. Because the outline is so big and bold, it is one of the easiest pages for the smallest hands — toddlers and preschoolers can swipe a crayon back and forth without worrying about staying in tiny lines. A is the very first letter of the alphabet and the first letter many children learn to recognize, which makes this a great starting point for letter-of-the-week activities. The wide open A shape also leaves room to experiment with stripes, dots, or a different color in each section. Encourage little ones to trace the outline with a finger first to feel the shape. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let the coloring begin.
