Feed the Raccoon! — Beginning Sounds Sorting Activity

Sale Price: £2.99 Original Price: £3.49

There's a very hungry raccoon sitting in a barrel of apples, and he'll only eat the ones that start with his letter.

That's the whole game — and it's exactly why it works. Instead of another worksheet, your little one says each apple picture out loud, listens for the very first sound, and feeds the raccoon the four apples that match. Two cards in every set don't belong, so they're really listening, not just matching pictures. To them, it's play. Underneath, it's beginning sounds, vocabulary, sorting, speaking, and fine motor practice — the early building blocks of reading.

What's in the pack

Five raccoon letter mats (S, M, F, C and B) plus a blank mat to create your own, six apple-shaped picture cards for every letter sound, and blank apples for drawing your own pictures. When the game's done, five early-finisher pages keep the calm going: a "Find and Colour 10 Leaves" woodland scene, a "Who lives here?" drawing page, and three woodland colouring pages. A simple how-to guide is included too.

Formats included

You'll receive both A4 and US Letter PDFs, plus high-resolution PNG files of every page — an instant digital download, ready to print straight away.

How to use it

1. Print the mats and apple cards — plain paper is fine, card is lovely
2. Laminate if you'd like it to last (one round of cutting and it's made forever)
3. Choose a mat, lay out its six apples, and let your little one feed the raccoon
4. Early finishers head straight to the colouring and drawing pages

Why parents and teachers love it

- Phonics practice little ones ask for by name
- Ten calm, focused minutes with no screens and no pressure
- Laminate once, use all year — at home, in a literacy centre, or in a busy bag
- The blank mat means it grows with your child, letter by letter
- Prints properly in the UK and the US — both sizes included

Please note: this is a digital download — no physical product will be posted. Your files arrive by email straight after purchase (do check your junk folder if they're shy). Any trouble at all, email me at contact@funprintables4kids.com and I'll sort it out.
