We all know how important it is for our children to learn the letters of the alphabet and all things that encompass that. Not only is letter recognition important, but learning how to form and trace those letters is as well.
I love printable worksheets because they are an easy activity to simply print out and go! I wanted to share with you all of my favorite letter b printables.
Why is letter formation important?
Letter formation is important because proper letter formation leads to less frustration when writing words and eventually sentences. Having the ability to properly form letters makes hand writing more legible and believe it or not helps to ensure that the muscles in the hand and wrist do not get tired prematurely.

How to teach the letter B?
When teaching the letter Bb, I like to teach it in multiple different ways. Some kids are visual learners, some kids are hands on learners and some kids need both.
I prefer to do various activities such as identifying objects that start with the letter b, tracing the letter B in the air, doing worksheets, crafts and printables.
