Alphabet Stamping

Learning the alphabet is a fundamental part of every child’s education. The alphabet provides the necessary building blocks for reading and writing and can be taught many ways! To make learning more effective (and fun!) try coupling the alphabet with an activity such as playdough! Playdough is a great fine motor workout. It encourages creativity too. This diy alphabet stamp is a fantastic learning experience for your little one.

Alphabet stamping is the perfect, hands-on educations activity for toddler, preschool, pre k, kindergarten, and first grade students. So whether you are a parent, teacher, daycare, homeschooler, nanny, or grandparent you will love trying this alphabet activity for kids.

toilet paper roll with glue alphabet letters to use as alphabet stamping on rolled out blue playdough

Alphabet Playdough

To make an alphabet stamp you will need:

  • Paper rolls (also known as tp rolls, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, cardboard tubes, etc)
  • Hot glue gun with refills (if you don’t have one they are only $15 and super handy for lots of projects big and small!)
  • Rolling pin (optional)
  • Flour
  • Playdough

You can use store bought or homemade dough for this play recipe. We like to use our amazing kool aid playdough , ice cream edible playdough, super soft 2 ingredient playdough, or this 3 ingredient salt dough in this activity. Either dough will work for this activity and each share benefits.

for this playdough activity, dust blue playdough with flour to make the abc prints extra visible

Alphabet Activity for Preschoolers

To begin making your homemade stamp, make sure you have removed all the paper from the roll. Use your hot glue to carefully create letters on the paper roll. (it is simple to use, but gets super hot, so follow manufacturers guidelines for safety)

***You will need to create the alphabet from right to left. The letters will need to be backwards. ***

This is to ensure the alphabet rolls on the dough correctly. Space the letters about half an inch apart. If you are using a toilet paper roll, you will need two rolls to complete the alphabet. Allow the glue to dry. Remove any glue strings from roll.

toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners will love this alphabet activity where they will make impressions of letters from A to Z

Alphabet Activity for Toddlers

Once the glue dries, you can have your child roll the dough flat with a rolling pin. Once the dough is flat practice rolling the stamp over the dough, beginning at the top and working your way down the roll. Have your child run their fingers over the letters in the dough or sprinkle on flour to create a fun alphabet letter reveal! As the flour sinks into the grooves of the dough, the letters become more apparent! It is quite fun!
