There is a new printable in the Little Step Printables shop, and it was made for the busiest, most excited weeks of the year. The Christmas Find the Letter Hunt and ABC Coloring Book is a 56-page set of Christmas worksheets for kids ages 3 to 6. It keeps alphabet practice going through December, while every page still feels like a holiday activity instead of schoolwork.

What is inside the Christmas workbook

The pack has two parts that work together.

The first part is a Find the Letter hunt with 26 cozy Santa’s workshop scenes, one for every letter from A to Z. Each page is a busy Christmas coloring scene full of friendly elves, wrapped presents, candy canes, stockings, toys and twinkle lights. Five copies of that page’s letter are hidden somewhere in the picture. Children search the scene, circle all five letters, and then color the whole page.

The second part is an ABC coloring book with 26 big Christmas letters to color, one letter per page. Each letter is decorated with ornaments, reindeer, snowmen, stars and holiday lights. Every coloring letter matches a hunt page, so a child who spends the morning looking for hidden A’s can finish by coloring a giant Christmas A.

The download also includes a short how to use page, printing tips, and terms of use.

Why a letter hunt works so well for young learners

Children tend to stay with a task much longer when it feels like a search instead of a worksheet. A hidden letter gives them a small, clear goal, and every letter they find is its own little win. Searching a busy picture for one shape also asks a child to look closely and notice what makes an A different from every other letter, which is exactly the kind of practice that builds letter recognition.

Coloring the scene afterward adds fine motor practice without asking for any handwriting at all. That matters for three and four year olds who are not ready to write letters yet, and for older preschoolers and kindergartners who simply need December practice to feel light and fun.

How to use these Christmas printables at home, in the classroom, or in a homeschool

Parents can print one letter a day and turn the weeks before Christmas into a gentle alphabet countdown. A few pages folded into a bag also make an easy screen-free activity for holiday travel, restaurant waits, or a quiet afternoon at Grandma’s house.

Teachers can use the hunt pages as preschool Christmas activities, kindergarten morning work, a December literacy center, or a calm table activity during a class holiday party. Because each page focuses on one letter, it is easy to match the hunt to whatever letter your class is learning that week.

Homeschool families can pair each hunt page with its matching coloring letter and a favorite alphabet book for a simple December letter study that takes very little planning.

The routine is the same on every page. Say the letter together and talk about its shape, find and circle the five hidden letters, color the picture, and then color the matching big letter in the ABC coloring book. All you need is a printer and crayons or colored pencils. There is no cutting and no gluing. If you would like to reuse the pages, slip them into sheet protectors and circle the letters with a dry erase marker.
