Making the ABC Book
I wanted to keep all of the letter tracing sheets together in an easy to grab busy bag book for my boys. After printing and cutting the freebie (below), I picked up a 4 x 6 photo album from the dollar store and slid the pages inside the sleeves.
Then, I grabbed a Matchbox car and invited the boys to join me. Easy peasy!
Letter Tracing
Giving kids plenty of practice forming letters is an important step in helping them become independent writers. When children can write the ABC’s automatically, their brains are freed up to work on other parts of writing like identifying letter sounds and adding punctuation.
Since I wanted the boys to learn correct letter formation, I included a little GO sign at the start of each letter. My boys placed the car on the road next to the sign and drove their car across the letter.
So straightforward and engaging!!

this is a great idea! I am so happy I stumbled across your blog. You have a loyal follower here. this is just what I am looking for to help our son who is behind. I also passed the site along to his pre school teacher to reinforce in the classroom. I cannot wait to see the additional great ideas and insight you will add to your site. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Your kind note made my day, Heidi! I’m thrilled that the letter tracing book will be a helpful resource for you and your son. Thanks for taking the time to say “hello”.
I just love these. I would love to make a set for each of my kiddos. They are exactly what they need and would love. Is there anyway possible to get these and your other similar printables in black and white so I can print onto construction paper and it not be so ink heavy. I’m on such a strict budget you know the one where my budget is on a budget, lol. I love your blog. If you can’t totally understand, but it doesn’t hurt to ask right. God Bless.
Thank you so much… this is a great idea!
Would you consider adding a link for roads w/out colored backgrounds? I usually print on colored paper with just black ink…I have the perfect tiny cars for this!
Hi!
I’m a primary school teacher currently teaching EAL/D students this year and these busy bag ideas are genius!!!! Thank you for posting this up … Now to find time to make these with work and 3 children …..
Thanks again!
Hooray! I’m excited you’re a fan of the busy bags, Zena. 🙂
I love this idea! What fun… and such a cool learning experience.
Thanks for sharing!
Ohhh, I love this! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Starting to work on this stuff with my little guy and this is such a great idea.
I’m definitely printing out the letters. thanks again!
thank you for these letters. I’m un french teacher an i’m going to give them to my students to help them learn the letters.
Yay Gijou! So excited they’re helpful.
I really love this and need it for because I am having mostly boys this coming school year. Just wish it was in in gray and black so I could save my ink and use colored paper as the background. Ink is just so expensive and it comes out of my pocket. Thanks for all your great products and ideas!!!! = )
This would be a great birthday gift with a set of cars.
Using this set as a birthday gift is a brilliant idea, Vicky!
