V is for volcanoes, vegetables, valentines, and video games—and it’s a very exciting letter to explore in preschool! While it might not be the most common letter in a child’s vocabulary, the letter V offers valuable opportunities to build language, spark creativity, and strengthen fine motor skills through engaging, hands-on activities. In this post, you’ll discover a variety of fun and educational ways to help your preschoolers recognize, form, and play with the letter V.
V is for Volcano!
- Volcano Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment: you can’t learn about the letter V without taking about volcanoes! Make a volcano with red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. I made a volcano out of clap and put a small water bottle inside where I put the baking soda. I then poured vinegar with red dye into the bottle and we had fun watching the volcano erupt!
- Volcano Sensory Activity: We love adding these fun volcanoes to kinetic sand or other sensory bins! My students also like using them as a mold to make volcanoes out of play dough.
- Volcano craft: Make a volcano out of the letter V and use red, yellow, and orange tissue paper to make the lava.
