Kids often learn letters in just one font, so they get stumped when they see the same letter written a different way. This match the font worksheet helps your child recognize letters no matter how they look.
Sometimes children get accustomed to letters in only one font. When they see the same letters in other fonts, they are unable to recognize them because they are so used to only one font. I have noticed Little Bear falling into this rut a little bit lately, so I have been making an extra effort to point out letters in lots of different fonts. Little Bear has been doing much better recognizing lots of different fonts, but I decided to incorporate the different fonts into a cut and paste page.

This cut and paste worksheet for preschool has 12 letters on the top, then the same 12 letters on the bottom. To complete the cut and paste work, have your child cut out the letters on the bottom (with the dotted lines) and then glue them to the letter on the top that matches. The only trick to this activity is that the letters are all in different fonts.
While Little Bear completed this page, we talked a lot about how the letters looked different from the way we usually write them, but they are still the same letters. I also had Little Bear identify each of the letters after he cut them out. He didn’t have that much trouble identifying any of the letters, but I tried to stay away from any of the tricky letters (like “g” for example).
Build scissor skills without the setup
This Cut and Paste Activity pack pulls all our favorite cut-and-paste activities into one printable bundle — sorting, shapes, letters, numbers, and sequencing — plus bonus printables you won’t find anywhere else.
I’m thinking I may make another cut and paste worksheet very similar to this in a few weeks with the really tricky letters. Little Bear could complete this page pretty easily (minus some complaining about all the cutting), but he did have to work at it a little. Honestly, I’m surprised at how quickly Little Bear is realizing that letters don’t always look the same. He often surprises me with his learning power. Young children learn so much in such a short amount of time and of course, it’s easy for me to think my kids are extra smart. 😉

Frequently Asked Questions
My toddler can’t cut on the line. Is that okay?
Completely okay. At this age it is all about the snipping motion, not accuracy. Cutting on the line comes with practice over the next year or two.
What age can toddlers start cutting?
Most toddlers can start with safety scissors and simple snipping around 2 1/2 to 3 years old, with close supervision.
Do I need to laminate the printables?
Laminating is not required, but it makes printables last much longer with repeated use, especially if you want to reuse them.
