Simple and Fun Letter X Activities for Preschoolers

I absolutely love teaching preschool. It is simple, little pressure, and fun. Young minds soak up knowledge from every activity turning even the most simple task into a learning experience.

I have taken a different route with letter x activities for preschoolers as I focused on x as an ending sound. I feel as if words such as xylophone do not teach the sound our youngsters need in order to begin their reading journey. They will much sooner be exposed to words such as fox and box.

Letter X Books

Again, with the exception of X-Ray, I did not focus on x as the beginning letter. I found it was actually a good time to distinguish between beginning and ending sounds. I realized that I hadn’t done that yet and my son caught on right away (high five!). If you are looking for letter x books, try these!

The Adventures of Taxi Dog by Debra Barracca

Jessica’s X- Ray by Pat Zonta

Mix primary colors. Since it is spring, we made this pretty flower after we learned about mixing colors and painted x’s. It was a great way to learn about primary and secondary colors.
