Free Pocket Alphabet Crafts Printable

Each page includes a pocket kids can color cut out and glue plus matching picture strips to trace and color. When finished the strips slide into the pocket for safe keeping turning the activity into a reusable craft project.
As a homeschooling mom of 4 kids including one with autism I know how important it is to have no prep printable crafts that keep kids engaged. Over the years I’ve created many alphabet activities and my tip for this one is to print on cardstock or laminate after coloring to make the pockets more durable for repeated use.
