Last time we looked at letter G activities. Now we will take a look at how you can explore the letter H with your child. Be sure to check the photo album at the bottom of the page for pictures of letter H activities.

Letter H activity options:

  • Words that begin with H include honey, hula hoop, honk, horn, helicopter, hot dog, haystack, hamburger, house, hippo, happy, hat, horse, hole, heart, hand and hair.
  • Use honey to make an H on a slice of toast.
  • Draw an H and then make it hairy by pasting strips of thread to it.
  • Use a permanent marker to decorate a hula hoop with the letter H.
  • Cut an H-shaped hole in the top of a shoebox. Go through old junk mail and cut out each word that you see that begins with H. Drop the cutouts in the hole.
  • Eat letter H foods like hash browns, hamburgers, hot dogs and hot fudge sundaes.
  • Decorate a hat with the letter H
  • Make letter H hand tattoos with washable markers.
  • Try using some of the free, printable letter H activities from DLTK.
  • Find letter H songs and rhymes at Everything Preschool.
  • Check your library for books on this list.
  • Take a field trip to jump some hay bales, see a hippopotamus at the zoo or to a bee farm to see where honey comes from.
  • Incorporate geography by teaching kids about letter H locations such as Haiti and Hawaii.

Letter H hand tattoos help kids to remember the shape of the letter. It is normal for kids to write some letters backward at first, so don't fret if your child does it.
