Making an ABC book is a fun, hands-on way to introduce children to letters and help them understand how those letters are used to make words. This free printable ABC book takes all of that learning one step further by introducing kids to art techniques including apple printing, car painting and (my personal favorite!) elbow stamping!!

Getting Ready
Making my boys’ ABC art books was quick and easy. I printed the pages on white paper and headed to the UPS Store down the road to bind them. Five minutes and $3.80 later, I walked out with a nicely bound book.
(Sliding the pages into a 3 ring binder would work well too.)
ABC Art Book
My boys LOVE art projects so they were THRILLED when I told them they’d each make their own book filled with 26 different activities – one for each letter of the alphabet. Starting at the beginning of the book, we completed three or four pages each day. When there was a messy paint project in our lineup, we worked on it last so that we could leave the page open and let it dry.
We did blue block stamping. (I slid a sheet of wax paper underneath the Bb sheet to keep the paint from soaking through to the Cc page.)
We made dot art…
tried some jewel gluing… (I found our package of jewels at the dollar store.)
key rubbing and so much more…
A Couple Notes
- On the Ll is for lace collaging page, we cut up paper doilies I found at the dollar store and glued them to the page to make pictures. My oldest turned his pieces into a snowman and my 3 year-old made his a dog.
- For the Oo is for orange O page, we stamped empty toilet paper rolls to make Os.
- I cut out a pile of red rectangles and had the boys glue them on the Rr is for red rectangle collaging page.
- The boys stamped an X stamp on the Xx is for x stamping sheet.
