Alphabet Find & Color: 26 Letter Hunt Coloring Pages for Kids

Description

Hey, y’all. This one started at my own kitchen table, with a child who was not remotely interested in being taught anything.

So it isn’t a lesson. It’s a hunt.

Every page is one letter. There’s a big outlined letter to color, a number in the corner, and a scene full of little pictures. The number tells you how many of those pictures start with that letter. The rest are there to be looked at and ruled out — which, it turns out, is most of the fun. A child who is ruling out a fish on the N page is thinking hard about what N sounds like, and nobody has to call it school.

What’s in it

• 26 letter pages, A through Z — between two and seven hidden things to find on each one, plus decoys
• A big outlined letter on every page, sized for crayons and small hands
• An answer key at the back, so you’re never the one stuck hunting for the xylophone
• A start page that tells you how it works in about thirty seconds
• 30 pages total, print-at-home on regular paper

The app comes with it

Same letters, same price, nothing extra to buy. The Letter Hunt lives on your phone for the times the book is at home and you are not — a waiting room, a long line, the ten minutes before supper. Tap what you find, and it keeps count. There’s a sound button on each letter for the child who is still learning what it says.

Add it to your home screen once and it sits next to your text messages. Nothing to install, no login, nothing tracked.

Every drawing is original

A hundred and fifty-five pictures, drawn by hand for this book. That matters for a coloring book more than it sounds like it should — it means the apple on the A page and the apple on the answer key are the same apple, the objects are sized to be found rather than squinted at, and nothing in here is also in forty other people’s products.

How folks actually use it

Some print the whole thing and staple it. A lot of mamas print one letter a week and keep the rest in a folder, which stretches it out over half a year. Crayons work better than markers — the hidden objects are small on purpose.

Fifteen minutes at the kitchen table, and she learns her letters without either of you calling it school.

You’ll get two files the moment you check out: the printable book, and a Start Here page with your app link on it.
