SATPIN Snow Globe Writing Mat – Letter Recognition & Formation (A4) | Early Years / PS1
This flexible, hands-on phonics resource is perfect for Early Years and PS1 learners, whether you’re in a classroom, home setting, or childminding environment. Designed to support letter recognition, formation, and early writing skills through a playful winter-themed approach, it links beautifully with the Welsh Curriculum.
You’ll get:
One A4 mat featuring the letters SATPIN on the left for children to find and a snow globe on the right for practicing writing each letter.
An optional extension: write individual SATPIN letters on separate pieces of paper, fold or roll them into “snowballs,” and have children pick a snowball to find and write on the mat.
Children can trace, write, and explore letters independently, developing fine motor skills, pencil control, and early literacy. Perfect for table-top activities, small groups, or phonics interventions, and adaptable for different abilities and stages.
Links beautifully with AoLEs:
Language, Literacy & Communication
Health and Wellbeing
Expressive Arts
