Alphabet Handprint Book and ABC Crafts
Make alphabet practice creative and memorable with this Alphabet Handprint Book for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten.
Each letter includes a simple sentence and a matching handprint craft. As children create the pages, they practice letter recognition, beginning sounds, letter-sound connections, and alphabet vocabulary.
The finished pages can become a complete student-made ABC book. Plus, those little handprints turn alphabet practice into a keepsake families can enjoy long after the school year ends.
Use one page at a time for letter-of-the-week instruction. You can also add the crafts to literacy centers, fine motor activities, or whole-group lessons. Finally, compile the pages into an end-of-year alphabet book.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
A-Z ALPHABET HANDPRINT PAGES
The resource includes 26 alphabet handprint activities, with one craft for every letter from A to Z.
Each printable alphabet page includes:
- Uppercase and lowercase letter recognition
- Simple patterned text
- A matching handprint craft
- Blackline designs for easy printing
- Opportunities for coloring and painting
For example, children see simple sentence patterns such as “A is for apple.” Then, they create a handprint picture that connects to the featured letter.
As a result, the craft becomes more than an art project. Children connect the letter, sound, word, and picture through hands-on learning.

- Beginning sound awareness

HOW TO USE
Start with one alphabet handprint craft as you introduce or review a letter. First, identify the uppercase and lowercase letters on the page. Next, read the simple sentence together and talk about the beginning sound.
Then, it is time for the messy part. Add paint and create the coordinating handprint picture.
Once the artwork is dry, children can color or finish their pages. Keep each completed craft throughout the year. Finally, combine all 26 pages to create a student-made Alphabet Handprint Book.
You can also use individual pages for literacy centers, fine motor centers, or whole-group craft activities. For another option, complete the book near the end of the year as an A-Z alphabet review.
