V makes a buzzy sound. Have your child rest the top teeth gently on the bottom lip and hum to feel the buzz, then say van, vest and vine. Volcanoes are a big hit with older kids, with gray or brown slopes and red and orange lava. Violets are purple, and vegetables bring greens, oranges and reds. Valentine's Day in February also starts with V.
Lava looks bright on white paper when you layer colors. Start with yellow, add orange on top, then press red at the edges. Older kids can blend the layers with a light-colored crayon.
Fun facts to share while you color
- V is the twenty-second letter of the English alphabet.
- In Roman numerals, V stands for 5.
- V and F are made the same way, but V uses your voice.
- Very few English words end in V, so most end in VE, like have and give.
Ways to use these letter v pages
- Fold a finished page into a Valentine card and add paper hearts around the V.
- Sort play food or picture cards into vegetables and not vegetables, then color the V in veggie colors.
- Turn the V upside down into a volcano and add tissue paper lava bursting from the top.
- Hold up two fingers in a V and count by fives together, since V means 5 in Roman numerals.
Questions parents and teachers ask
Why do English words end in ve instead of v?
English spelling generally avoids ending a word with V, so an E is added, as in love and give. Short forms like rev are rare exceptions.
What V words can preschoolers color?
Van, vest, vase, violin, volcano and vegetables are easy to picture. Valentine is a good one to save for February.
