Letter X Activities and Crafts: Words that End in X

This letter X sensory bin will help your students focus in on the letter X in a playful, hands-on way.

Make the word "ox" come alive with the book The Ox-Cart Man and this story-retelling basket.

I love this creative, story-based idea! "Box" is an easy and memorable word - perfect for teaching the letter X. This activity sparks children's imaginations, develops their drawing and verbal skills, and introduces the concept of print.

T-Rex ends in X, so if you focus on just that one type of dinosaur this would be a fun way to make the /x/ sound relevant for your kiddos.

If you want to get more elaborate, you can play out the word "Fix" with some of these mechanic shop ideas.

Your kids can mix up some potions and then you can talk about the letter X. This messy but engaging science activity also provides practice making observations and learning about cause and effect.

Finally, this fox puppet would be an engaging addition to your letter x activities. It goes with a really cute book, too!

If you're a classroom teacher you could make one of these for your class and have them all help decorate it - and then fill it with objects representing the letter X.

If you're going to make a box, it might as well be a treasure box!

Finally, if it's near Valentine's day, students can make decorated boxes for their cards. We loved making this Pete the Cat box!

These yarn-wrapped foxes are great for developing fine motor skills as well as teaching about the letter X.

If it's autumn, try out this easy, sweet fox craft.

If you want every child to have his or her own fox puppet, this is a sweet and simple alternative to the sock puppet I listed in the previous section. The post has a template that makes prep easy for you.

Use a template to make this fox craft any time of year.

Your little dinosaur lovers will enjoy helping to make this T-Rex paper dinosaur craft as they learn about the letter X.

This list of letter T crafts includes a super cute taxi craft that you could also use as an X craft.

If you have a box of old crayons (and don't we all?), you can use them to make a shaved wax craft like this one.

Finally, who could forget The Lorax when talking about fun letter X crafts for preschoolers. I love a good story-based craft, and the template here makes this one easy.

If your kids love coloring, you'll want to have these adorable fox printables on hand for your Letter X week.

Wouldn't your preschoolers or young kindergartners look adorable in these fox crowns? You can have them write the word "fox" or just the letter x around the band.

A dinosaur bracelet? Yes, please! These T-Rex bracelets are simply adorable. Draw some X's on them to bump up the learning a little more.
