Nifty Letter N Worksheets

Supporting the hands-on activities are meticulously designed letter N worksheets. These worksheets provide structured practice in writing the letter N, both in uppercase and lowercase, and recognizing words that begin with the letter. Puzzles, matching games, and coloring pages that feature the letter N are excellent for reinforcing classroom teachings or for extra practice at home.

Diving into the world of letter N crafts offers children a hands-on way to connect with the letter. These crafts can range from creating a nest out of twigs and leaves, which can involve a fun outdoor scavenger hunt, to fashioning a colorful necklace from string and beads. Such activities not only reinforce the shape and sound of the letter N but also encourage creativity and fine motor skill development.

Lowercase Letter N Activity Mat

This activity sheet requires no preparation but provides four different tasks to help children recognize the lowercase letter n. This activity is perfect after reading a book or finishing a letter n craft.

Children will improve their fine motor skills as they color and write the letter n. Their visual discrimination skills will be challenged as they find the correct letter in a group of circles.

Download and print the activity sheet from the site. Point the letter to the child and say its name. Have the child repeat its name. Let them copy the letter on the line using a pencil or a marker.

Next, instruct the child to find the same letter from a bunch of circles with letters. Let the child color the circle with the letter n using a marker or crayon. A bingo marker may also be used for this task.

Finally, have the child identify the picture of the nurse. Point out that the word nurse begins with the letter n. Ask the child to color the picture.

Nature Sensory Bag

Help children learn the letter N by providing manipulatives in centers, such as this sensory bag inspired by nature. It is a great activity after a nature walk where children get to collect different items that will go into the bag.

Let children collect different colors of flowers to teach colors and matching skills. Have children take different leaves to learn about shapes and for them to match. This fantastic activity provides a sensory experience that children will enjoy.

Fill the bag with the collected flowers and leaves. Ensure not to overcrowd the bag by adding a lot of these. It will make it difficult for children to move around the items inside the bag.

Next, add enough hair gel to cover the flowers and leaves. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. The site recommends doubling the Ziploc bag to ensure it will not spill just in case it breaks.

Have children move the flowers and leaves, find identical objects, name the colors, and count the number of things inside the bag.

• Hair gel
• Ziploc bag
• Flowers and leaves

Letter N Crafts for Preschoolers

I have three big kids (ages 3, 5, and 6), two of whom are learning preschool at home. So I can usually find someone interested in doing some arts and crafts with me!

N is for Nest

This is obviously not process art, but my Three really enjoyed it. I cut out the pieces for him, and he glued everything down. I found this Letter N craft idea at Rockabye Butterfly.

Get the pattern for my giant letter N here.

Sequined Night Sky

My kids loved painting colorful swirls on white cardstock. After their paintings dried, we added glue and dumped colorful sequins on the projects. After tipping off the extras, they had some bright and beautiful night skies.

Birds in a Nest

My Three used Do-a-Dot markers to decorate the paper plate. Then he glued down the birds, beaks, and eyes. This is more a craft than a process art activity, but it has elements of both. Aren’t they adorable? You can find a similar idea over at Activity Village.

Neckties

My two preschool boys were excited to do this simple craft. I printed the pattern onto colorful cardstock, and they decorated with stickers. After I had attached yarn to my Three’s tie and hung it around his neck, he announced he was “off to a meeting.” 🙂 I saw this N is for Necktie craft at Some of This and Some of That.
