Letter Z Coloring Sheet
Coloring the uppercase Z is a simple way for young learners to practice letter recognition while adding a few new Z words to their vocabulary.
On this page, kids will find:
- Z is for zebra
- Z is for zip
- Z is for zombie (drawn in a friendly, cartoon style)
The mix of pictures makes the letter memorable and fun, especially for preschoolers who enjoy silly illustrations.
If your kids are curious about animals, pair this page with our zoo scavenger hunt to keep the theme going.
Why Use This with Preschoolers?
This worksheet encourages kids to link the Z sound with familiar images, building both phonological awareness and confidence in early reading.
At the same time, coloring supports fine motor control and hand strength, so they’re practicing pre-writing skills while enjoying a creative activity.
My son especially enjoyed the zebra handprint art, so if your kids like animal crafts, it’s a perfect companion to this coloring page.
Letter Z Books for Preschool
When we were learning the letter Z, I found that storytime made the sound stick much faster. These picture books pair really well with the coloring page and give preschoolers another fun way to recognize the letter Z.
Dear Zoo – This classic lift-the-flap book was always a favorite in our house. The repetition makes it easy for little ones to join in, and the surprise animals kept my son guessing every time.
Let’s Go To Our Zoo – With sturdy pages and bright illustrations, this board book is perfect for younger kids. It gave us a chance to talk about different zoo animals while pointing out the big Z in “zoo.”
How the Zebra Got Its Stripes – My son loved the imaginative story and the chance to wonder about why zebras look the way they do. It’s a playful tale that naturally ties back to the letter Z and keeps kids curious about animals.
