Pointing out how we produce sounds with our mouths, throat, lips, etc. is a powerful way to help the sounds stick. Another awesome way is for kids to have a word or picture to associate with the new sound. Enter letter crafts!

Letter H is for House Craft

Introduce the name and sound of letter H with ease when you use this letter craft! All you have to do is print it (color or black-and-white), then lead children to cut out the pieces and transform a plain old H into a house! Of course, there are 25 other letters in the alphabet and if you make one or two alphabet crafts, you’ll quickly be craving more! You can find more of our cute letter crafts here.

Learning all 26 letters of the alphabet is of course a massive task for preschoolers! They have to learn how to recognize and name the letters as well as the sound each letter makes. Luckily, young brains are no less absorbent than the best sponges and many kids pick up on the letters quite quickly. The key for early childhood educators is to provide plenty of hands-on, varied opportunities for kids to practice, practice, practice.

Benefits of the Letter H Craft

Making the H is for House craft is a great way to provide that anchor word in kids’ brains. It will help them remember both the name of the letter and its sound. There are a number of other benefits for preschool learners as well:

Letter Recognition: Transforming the letter “H” into a house helps children visually associate the letter with a familiar object, reinforcing letter recognition in a fun and creative way.
Fine Motor Skills: Cutting out and assembling the pieces of the house helps develop fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination and scissor control.
Creativity and Imagination: The craft encourages children to use their creativity as they design and decorate their house, fostering artistic expression and imaginative play.
Spatial Awareness: Assembling different shapes to form a house from the letter “H” helps children understand spatial relationships and how different shapes fit together to create a complete picture.

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Letter H Craft:

Step One:

First, decide whether you want the children to color their own pieces. If so, color them BEFORE cutting them out.

When you’re ready to cut, kids should cut out each piece with scissors.

Teacher Tip: Tie in counting practice by having kids count the pieces before assembling!

Step Two:

Use a glue stick to put the house together. Some children will be able to look at your teacher example and do it themselves, while others will need more guidance. Provide step-by-step instructions for those that need it.

First, find the window and glue it into the empty space at the top of the H. Next, place and glue the door to the bottom space of the letter H. Next, place the roof near the top of the H and attach the chimney to the roof.

Teacher Tip: Consider using a blank piece of paper as a background, making it easier to glue the parts of the house together. This also makes it easier to assemble letter crafts into a book if desired.

Great Work! What’s Next?

There are lots of options to consider once your houses are complete! Display them somewhere in the classroom, send them home for the fridge, or keep them to assemble into personalized alphabet craft books for each child.

Although keeping all of those crafts until you have a set of A-Z can be an organizational feat, it is a great way to review and practice letters and sounds all year long!

Ways to Differentiate the Letter H Craft:

Easily adapt the Letter H Craft to accommodate every child you’re working with. Here are a few ideas to get you started, but you probably already know exactly how to cater to your diverse class!

Pre-cut Shapes for Younger Learners: For children who are still developing scissor skills, provide pre-cut shapes of the house pieces so they can focus on assembling and decorating the craft without frustration.

Use Stickers or Velcro: For learners with limited fine motor abilities, use stickers or Velcro-backed pieces instead of glue to make assembling the house easier and more accessible.

Offer Visual and Verbal Instructions: Provide step-by-step visual guides or model the craft alongside verbal instructions to support children who benefit from multi-sensory learning and additional guidance.
