Letter B Activities for Toddlers

Updated: 6 hours ago

B is a bouncy letter. At ages 2 to 4 the goal isn't writing it. It's hearing the /b/ sound at the start of words like ball, bear and bus, and feeling it pop on your lips.
Here's everything we use for Letter B, all in one place. Pick one or two, or spread them across a week.
Watch
Letter B with Sprocket & Sprout. The letter segment from Episode 2.
The Letter B song. A short song for singing the sound together.
Talk about it
Talk About It: The Letter B. The big idea: B says /b/, and you can feel it pop on your lips. You'll find a few questions to ask and a one-minute way to show it.
Snack
Letter B Snacks. A whole plate of foods that start with the /b/ sound, like banana. Your child hears the sound again and again, then builds a big B out of snacks before eating it.
Play
Rip Strip. Maybe the easiest letter game there is. You write letters down a long strip of paper. Your child tears between them, then names or finds the letters they've torn off.
