Interesting and Fun Preschool Activities for the Letter I

Welcome to I week ? This post is full of fun and engaging preschool activities for the letter I, all tested and tried on my 4 year old. He is so excited about “doing school” with the older kids that his enthusiasm is contagious.

When my older children were in preschool I began teaching them the alphabet through this letter a week system and it worked so well that I am now on child number four and still happy with the system.

Letter I Books

We all know how important reading to our kids is. I confess that it was a little tricky rounding up letter I books for this week, but I did manage to find several good ones 🙂

Inside Outside Upside Down by Stan and Jan Berenstain

Let’s Look at Iguanas by Judith Jango-Cohen

The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Iza Trapni

Bugs are Insects by Anne Rockwell and Steve Jenkins

Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni

My three year old’s favorite letter I book is Inside Outside Upside Down and I’m pretty sure we read it every day this week 🙂

Inchworm Craft and Other I Art

We made inchworm crafts with dried beans. It provided a perfect opportunity to work on patterns. This was a popular activity and we made several different inchworms with various patterns.

The cotton balls represent blocks of ice and the bottom was supposed to be shaped like an igloo. If you squint just right and use a good dose of imagination, it does look like an igloo 😉

Next, we made a house out of construction paper and he drew himself inside of it.

The last of our crafts for the letter i, was a lady bug (we actually make this agian for the letter L). We enjoyed looking at books about insects and while it was too cold to go outside and explore, this craft was fun.

Letter I Worksheets for Preschool

I have two letter I worksheets for preschool that focus on letter recognition. One also have a place to trace the I’s and the other can be used with a dot marker if your preschooler enjoys them.

Does your preschooler enjoy worksheets? Some do and some don’t. I like that they make a nice quiet time activity. If you are interested in letter recognition worksheets for the entire alphabet, click the image below!

I also have three fun letter I worksheets for preschool for you to print. The first is an activity with insects, the second is a sorting activity, and the third they are asked to add details to an inguana picture.
