These printables are a fun way for the kids to work on their letter and number recognition. Grab a few crayons and start coloring to find the hidden pictures!
I’m a big believer in hands-on learning and activities when it comes to early literacy, but once in awhile kiddos need something on paper to help them with certain skills. So I decided to make these hidden number and letter printables to help with letter and number recognition.
Many times uppercase and lowercase letters are taught separately; however the more I read about this, the more I’m seeing the importance of teaching them together. The hidden letter printable includes both uppercase and lowercase to help kids start to recognize that the letter A can look different.
These printables are not only great for working on letter & number recognition skills, but also fine motor skills. You can show and encourage your child to use a proper grip on the crayon or marker.
You could also discuss how the lines create starting and stopping points for coloring inside a shape, point out shapes you see, or have the child say each letter or number out loud.
The Letter A and Number 1 worksheets are currently available as a free download. I am in the process of creating the rest of the alphabet and will be releasing them as a bundle. If you’d like to know when they are available to purchase, please join my email list!

How do the I get the rest of alphabet to print
Only letter A is available right now.
Will you be posting more letters soon?
Hopefully pretty soon…I’m working on releasing the whole set of letters!
Great! Thank you! We have a long 24 hour road trip coming up this weekend and I thought my son would love doing these in the car.
This is great! I’ll be looking forward to the rest of the alphabet!
Yes! Please let us know when they’re available as my kids and I can’t wait to do more! Great idea and thank you for doing them. 🙂
Hope these are available soon – I am an Occupational Therapist and this works on fine motor/prewriting skills, visual perceptual skills, and of course letter recognition. I have a few little friends for whom these pages would be great!
Thanks for stopping by, Chrissy! The full alphabet is definitely in the works! 🙂
When will the rest of the Alphabet be available? This will be great for my son
With summer schedules and vacations keeping us busy, I don’t have a date for the release of the full set yet. If you subscribe to my printables newsletter, I will be sharing more information about it through that. Thanks!
Thank you Kelly! This is fantastic! Very old school. The best ways to learn. I’d love to have the full set.
Kelly, I’m definitely looking forward to the rest of the alphabet as well. I do daycare and we work on the alphabet each school year. My three year olds will love doing these.
