Letter V Coloring Page (Free Printable)
This letter V coloring page is a simple way to help preschool and kindergarten kids recognize the uppercase letter V while practicing beginning sounds. Alongside the large capital letter, children will color pictures that start with V, reinforcing the /v/ sound in a hands-on way.
It fits easily into your weekly letter V activities, whether you’re teaching at home or in the classroom. The bold outlines make it easy for little hands to color while focusing on letter recognition and early vocabulary development.
What’s Included on the Letter V Coloring Page
This printable features a large uppercase letter V surrounded by simple illustrations that all begin with the /v/ sound. Each image gives children a visual cue to connect the letter with beginning vocabulary words.
On the page, you’ll find:
- V is for vulture
- V is for Valentine’s
- V is for vest
- V is for vampire
- V is for veterans
How to use
Print the page at full size on regular paper or cardstock if you’d like something sturdier for display.
Before coloring, say each picture name out loud together and emphasize the /v/ sound at the beginning of the word. You can ask:
- “What sound do you hear at the start of vulture?”
- “Does vest start with the same sound as Valentine?”
This helps reinforce phonemic awareness rather than turning it into just an art activity.
After coloring, you can:
- Hang it on the wall as an alphabet reference
- Add it to an alphabet binder
- Use it during letter-of-the-week review
If your child enjoys hands-on alphabet activities, the letter v handprint art pairs nicely with this page for a simple extension activity.

Letter V Books for Preschoolers
When we were working through the alphabet, I liked pulling in a few read-alouds that highlighted the letter V naturally. They’re not all strictly “phonics books,” but they gave us extra chances to notice the letter and hear the /v/ sound in real words.
Vegetables in Underwear – This one always gets laughs. The silly illustrations make it memorable, and it’s a fun way to reinforce the V sound with vegetables while still keeping things light. It works especially well if you’re pairing literacy with a food or nutrition theme such as our free vegetable coloring pages.
The Velveteen Rabbit – We read this a little more slowly and talked about words like Velveteen and very. It’s more of a gentle, sentimental story, so it works best as a cozy read-aloud rather than a quick phonics tie-in.
If you’re doing a letter-of-the-week approach, even just pointing out the V words as you read can help reinforce recognition without making it feel like a lesson.
