All week long I have been sharing printable sets with insect themes with you! The week started with butterfly-themed shape mats. Next, you are given a set of caterpillar printables that focused on counting money. Then I shared a printable coding activity that focused on the life cycle of a spider. Yesterday I shared ladybug themed clock printable and a ladybug clock. Today’s activity is an alphabet match game with a spider theme. Your children will have a lot of fun turning over lowercase letter spider cards and finding its match on the web.

Finally, they can place a button like we did on the letter. If you want to make it more fun, you could have them place Learning Resources Backyard Bugs Counterson the letter.
