How to use the Pumpkin Puzzle - Beginning Letter Sounds Matching Game:

Download the printable. Choose the level of difficulty appropriate for your child. Look for these symbols:

Pre-K:

Appropriate for preschool children (age 3 - 4). Each pumpkin has different shaped cutting lines so there is only one possible way to join each half. Words that begin with the same letter have the same puzzle shape.

K:

Appropriate for Kindergarten children (age 5). Pumpkins are cut straight in half making matching more challenging!

Print your chosen set of pumpkins on glossy photo paper or card for printers. Cut out each pumpkin and then cut along the centre lines of each. We recommend laminating for durability.
