Hi everyone! Welcome to the Letter B! Naturally after finishing with caterpillars last week, butterflies just seemed the right way to go. I did go a little overboard with this, so brace yourself!
Letter B Memory Verse:
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:31
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
Read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and put up the letter B on our Alphabet Tree! You can download my small alphabet letters here.
Song time:
Hide ‘Em in Your Heart Vol 1
Hide ‘Em In Your Heart Songs – Vol 2
Letter B Tracing Cards: Laminate then use with use with Expo Dry Erase Markers for pre-writing practice skills.
Butterfly Clip cards: you can use these fun colored paper clips, or mini-clothespins, or beans, or whatever. Goal is to place the correct amount of clips onto the card.
Letter Bb Do-A-Dot page: We use Do-a-Dot Art Markers with this!
Butterfly Counting: just place the correct number on the card based on how many butterflies are on it.
Butterfly Lacing Card. Just print, laminate then hold punch every inch or so, add string or yarn to lace. I’ve also seen people tie a twisted pipe cleaner into a needle shape then the string is tied on that so its easier for lacing.
(Note: To get all of the games in my Letter of the Week curriculum, please check out the curriculum in my store!)
Butterfly Pattern Activity! Hopefully I did better this time around on the pattern!
Large butterfly puzzle. Print, laminate and cut along the lines!
Butterfly Size Sort, just sort the pieces onto the game board based on size. You can also have them line the pieces up small to large.
Capital B and lowercase b sorting game, print, laminate, cut out the little butterflies and then sort away!
Butterfly Color Matching Game. So in my late night game creating fog, I made this game twice LOL! Oh well, I just mixed them all together in one bag and will let her sort them out! Haha!
Large Floor Butterfly numbers: since the caterpillar floor game went so well, I made some for the butterflies. Goal is to call out numbers and have your child hop to the correct one. And we could use some number recognition help around here!
Butterfly dice game: goal is to roll the die and move your piece to the next spot containing your rolled number. First one to the flower wins!
How many butterflies? Goal is to pick a number and place it on the game board. Your child will put that amount of butterflies on the board.
Butterfly letter matching game. This is a fun letter matching activity, that practices both upper and lowercase letters recognition! If you’re looking for more challenge, use the uppercase card with the lowercase letter disks or visa versa! (The download includes upper and lowercase letter disks and activity cards) Click here to see the process of making the letters.
(Please note, the original idea for this game came from Tot School and Carisa’s blog.)
Butterfly numbers writing practice: I laminated these then cut them out along the lines, hole punched the corner and used an o-ring to bind them together like a little booklet. Use dry-erase markers to practice writing numbers.
Butterfly pre-writing practice: I laminated these then cut them out along the lines, hole punched the corner and used an o-ring to bind them together like a little booklet. Use dry-erase markers to practice writing numbers. I un-binded them so you can see what each card looks like. ( You can also print these on regular copy paper and use for cutting practice!)
Butterfly Alphabet writing practice: I laminated these then cut them out along the lines, hole punched the corner and used an o-ring to bind them together like a little booklet. Use dry-erase markers to practice writing numbers.
Butterfly coloring page, and Bb writing practice. You can also use your Dot-A-Dot markers for this one!
Letter Collage Worksheets: The download includes letters A-Z as well as a collage idea sheet. We use the collage items as objects to decorate our letters for an alphabet book. We also color, paint, and stamp them. Since we use both upper and lowercase, I have provided both for you!
Bb lacing cards, I just hole punched these every inch or so, then use yarn or string laces to lace the cards! Click here to download the A-Z lacing cards.
Butterfly magnet page: I use this with a cookie sheet and these pom-pom magnets I made from pom-poms and self-sticky magnets from the craft isle in Wal-mart. I also use these magnets from Amazon: Power Magnets, 0.75 inch Diameter, Assorted Color
Letter B Scavenger Hunt: Fill your box with things that start with the letter B.
Butterfly Crafts: I haven’t decided which we’ll do, but these look fun, I’ll edit this post with our results:
Deep Space Sparkle Butterflies
Kaboose Coffe Filter Butterflies
Okay, we did a Tissue Paper Butterfly Craft, click here for instructions!
Letter B Reading: The Big Green Pocketbook. We used the purse downloads from Homeschool Share

Wow ! I love all your idea’s ! I’m wanting to buy the letter of the week curriculum from you. However, I’m not technology savy lol…. Do I download it then print everything off myself ? Or is there a way I can get an already printed curriculum ? At this time we don’t have home wifi. So I would be printing from the library. Which would probably cost a lot. Thanks !
Wow! I love all your idea’s !!! I’m thinking about downloading the preschool curriculum. I’m not tech savvy at all. And currently don’t have home internet. So I would need to print at the library. Is there a way I can get the curriculum already printed ? Thanks!
Hi Rachel, I’m so sorry right now I don’t currently offer it in printed format. You can purchase a CD and then take that to a printer which might work better for you than a download version though.
What age do kids connect w the do-a-dot pages? I tried them w my 2 1/2 year old and she wouldn’t do it and I tried them w a 4 year old a couple years ago and she didn’t like it either. But if I give them a blank sheet and the daubers they love them!!!
Do the Pre K students learn any mathematics, social studies and English and science? I’ve read that it’s part of the Louisiana curriculum in class and I’m wondering if you offer this?
I normally skip extra things like social studies at prek level, but they do learn English in terms of learning phonics, letters, and pre-reading skills. You can also add in fun science experiments if you want a little more to do. I like the Usborne Science in the Kitchen, Science in the Air, Science with Water, and Outdoor Things books for younger kids!
You are a lifesaver, and this website is a treasure trove!!!! Such a blessing to moms trying to homeschool their littles on a budget!
I noticed that all of the “Click Here to Downloads” on this page are not linked. Is that intentional, or a mistake?? I would love to use the B is for Butterflies curriculum, but cannot print any of the pages. THANK YOU!!! xoxo
Hi my name is Jennifer, and I am trying to download some of the letter B printables but where you say to click here to download there are no links for me to follow. it wont let me click here. I am hoping you can help me. Thank you!
I know this page is older, but the activites are great and I’d love to use them with my daughter. However, several of your “click here to download” phrases aren’t linked to anything. The photos themselves are only linked to the photos, and not the pdfs or activities. Are you still willing to share these files? If so, I’d love access to them. Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas. I use them with my own preschooler as well as my preschool class. I wanted to use your B clip cards but notice that the link is no longer active. Is this no longer a free printable?
Hey I was trying to download a few of these as a work on putting some stuff together for my little girl but where it says click here to download it doesn’t seem to be working. Thanks.
Hey hi ! You have awesome Letter of the Week series! I’m sorry if I’m missing something. But, I’m not able to find the download links for letter of the week activities. Can you please help?
I’m sorry, due to inappropriate ads and virus issues I’ve temporarily removed my free Letter of the Week files from 4shared. I’m working to get them transferred to another site now, it’s just taking some time.
In the meantime if you would like to do the LOTW activities you’re always welcome to grab the entire curriculum for just $15 from my store. http://tinyurl.com/LOTWCurriculum
I apologize for the inconvenience.
