Is coloring loved in your classroom and homeschool? What could make it even better? Using coloring pages as a way to learn the letters of the alphabet and learning about a word of a food that starts with that letter. Each coloring page has the uppercase and lowercase letters to color in with the image of a food that starts with that letter and the word that goes with that food to trace. Helping them with creativity and fine motor skills.

Great ways to use these are during your homeschool day to give them a chance to be creative and learn their letters and how to write letters. In the classroom this is a great way to give students something to do when they have finished their assignment, indoor recess fun and even great for when you have a sub in your classroom.
