Studying the alphabet? Your kids can make some letter A preschool crafts.
Oh, look, the word alphabet starts with the letter A. Well, that will not be one of ours, but there are a lot of other fun projects your kids will enjoy doing.
Make crafts using both the upper case and lower case letter.
The letter a preschool crafts below use an upper case letter.
