Letter E activities for toddlers: snack, play, book and free printable

E is our fifth letter. At ages 2 to 4 the goal isn't writing it. It's hearing the short /e/ sound at the start of words like egg, elephant and elf.

Here's everything we use for Letter E, all in one place. Pick one or two, or spread them across a week.

Watch

Talk about it

Talk About It: The Letter E. E makes a short /e/ sound at the start of words like egg, elephant and elf. You'll find a few questions to ask and a one-minute way to show it.

Snack

Letter E Snacks. Snack time is all about the /e/ sound, like egg. Your child hears the sound again and again, builds a big E on the plate and then eats it.

Play
