Letter stencils are a useful material for creating a variety of crafts. We have selected for you some convenient templates with which you can do a lot of interesting things with your own hands. Some of them can be used for children's creativity, as they look very funny. Others are more strict, classical. Also in the selection are many original stencils.
All letter templates are suitable for cutting - just print them on paper. If you do not have such an opportunity, try to copy them yourself. Some stencils can be used simply as an interesting idea. Most of the letters are collected in the alphabet (Russian or English) - you can pull out from the selection and print only those that you need.
All images are clickable and available in good quality. In addition, they can be opened in a graphical editor to combine with something. So, for example, if you need letters to cut out the Russian and English alphabets at the same time, you can easily collect them on one sheet and print them together. Also, the templates can be enlarged or stretched to achieve the desired size of the blanks.
In the selection you will find Russian letters that are perfect for cutting out for the purpose of decorating children's cubes or home alphabet. Some of them are accompanied by silhouettes of animals, others are accompanied by funny faces. The same can be done with stencils of the letters of the English alphabet.
All the templates presented are suitable for designing postcards or album covers, voluminous crafts (like soap or candles), creating patches for clothes, etc. Many of these would make sense to print on paper and use for scrapbooking. If you want to spray or paint with paint, print the entire stencil and cut out the letters themselves with a clerical knife (you won't need them) without touching the paper.
The letters of the Russian alphabet are divided into vowels and consonants. There are 10 vowels, this is A E E AND O U Y E Yu Ya. Consonants 21 - B C D E F G H Y K L M N P R S T V Y Z. There are 33 letters in total.
Letters Kommersant and b are neither vowels nor consonants.
Spend time with your child in an interesting and useful way. We wish you success. 
How to play with a child using cards with letters?
Game number 1. Name the letter.
Before you start playing this game, introduce your child to a few letters.
You show the kid a card with a letter, and he calls which letter is written. For the correct answer, the child receives a token. At the end of the game there is a prize. Please note that vowels are written in red, and consonants are written in blue.
Tell your child that sounds are vowels and consonants. Vowel sounds are easy to sing, shout, pronounce. Nothing interferes in the mouth - neither lips nor tongue. Let the child guess what the vowel sound is in the words: poppy, forest, cat, house, etc.
And consonants. When pronouncing them in the mouth, something constantly interferes - either the lips or the tongue. Play, let the child name the consonants that he hears: day, meadow, juice, poppy, etc.
Use this game to learn all the letters of the alphabet.
Game number 2. Name words starting with a given letter.
Suggest any letter that the baby knows, and take turns calling words that start with that letter. Now let the child choose the letter, come up with words again, continue the same way.
Game number 3. Who says so?
Before starting the game, choose one card with a letter that begins with a consonant (for example, m). Next to this letter, put a letter denoting a vowel sound (for example, "a").
At first, you should not push the child and insist that he read more syllables. Focus on the question: "Who says so?" The child must answer which animal gives a voice like that.
Give a chip for each correct answer. Over time, the game can be played in a group of children and a competition can be organized, who will quickly and correctly name the proposed syllables.
Game number 4. Change the vowel.
In this game, the first letter remains unchanged - the consonant, and the letters that represent the vowel sound change. For example: ma, mo, mu, mi, me, we, me. Then the first letter can be replaced (the child can choose the letter himself) and continue reading.
Game number 5. Change the consonant.
In this game, the first letter remains unchanged - the vowel, and the letters that represent the consonant sound change. For example: am, an, hell, av, ash, ar, at. Then the first letter can be replaced (the child can choose the letter himself) and continue reading.
Game number 6. Funny letter combinations.
This game is perhaps the most difficult at this stage of learning, since the child needs to read letter combinations that consist only of consonants (fl, zv, kr, sl, st, br, ch, pl, chl, zm, kr, dv, sk, sq.). To interest the child, invite him to choose the funniest letter combination from those that he reads.
Game number 7. Create a syllable.
Using letter cards, have your child write the syllable you name. For a correctly completed task, the child receives a token.
In a group of children, you can organize a competition with prizes. The first person to create a syllable will receive a token. At the end of the game, according to the number of chips received, the winner is selected, who receives a prize.
Game number 8. Put the word together.
Using cards with letters, you need to add a word of three, and later of four or five letters, invented by a partner in the game. For example, you named the word "garden", and the child must put it together from letters. Then vice versa, the child calls a word of three letters, and you add it up. be sure to ask the child to check whether you completed the task correctly. For the sake of interest and to test attentiveness, sometimes make mistakes. Let the child identify them. Each correctly spelled word is rewarded with a chip. Whoever gets the most chips wins.
Bright, colored cards with the letters of the Russian alphabet.
Before starting to learn the Russian language, any student must learn its basis - the alphabet. You need to learn it at the very first lesson and you need to master this knowledge properly.
Any word of the Russian language consists of sounds, which are the basis of the shell of any word. Each word consists of a different sound design. Of great importance is the combination of letters in the word, as well as stress.
In any language, including Russian, transcription is used to distinguish letters in words. It is transcription that helps to understand how a word sounds, giving it a generally accepted written form. The transcription will show the softness of the consonants, which syllables are in the word, and also where the stress is located and which letters fall under it.
The letters of the alphabet can be divided into groups such as vowels and consonants. In addition, vowels can be stressed, these are only six letters. Stressed vowels are those that, when pronouncing a sound, do not encounter obstacles in the oral cavity. You can put your hand to your throat and feel how the ligaments vibrate. Any vowel can be shouted and sung. It is vowels that are the basis of any word, but stressed syllables sound distinct, and unstressed ones are more colorless.
Consonant sounds usually meet an obstacle in their way during pronunciation. Usually such sounds are quite difficult to pronounce if they are in a row. The Russian language does not have words that consist only of consonants. Consonants can also be divided into voiced and deaf, as well as paired and unpaired sounds.
Large caps
Studying the alphabet, it is necessary to study the spelling of letters, as well as punctuation marks. Large capital letters will be very important and necessary for all further education of children. To form handwriting, you will need to show the child different fonts that are used to write a particular capital letter.
For the correct design of letters while writing, you can make memos for children. You just need to take sheets of paper that are A4 format, on which you can print suitable and various stencils with capital letters. Use a wide variety of fonts so that children best remember how to write one or another letter of the Russian language. Such pictures can be colored, you can draw small elements of jewelry on them, but so that they do not distract from the information that the stencils contain.
You can use classic fonts with combs, original spelling, floral and festive decoration, the main thing is to show imagination and involve children in creating such an alphabet, it will be interesting for them to decorate and color capital letters on A4 paper.
Lower case
Learning the rules for how to write lowercase letters is just as important as capital letters. Therefore, in order to learn the entire alphabet in this way, it will also not be bad to use similar stencils and different fonts that can be printed on A4 paper.
Then the lowercase letters will be much easier for children to learn, and if the printed pictures are hung as an example, then the children will better remember the Russian alphabet, learn to write different fonts, using printed stencils as an example. It is the stencils that will become the basis for the children to quickly memorize certain lowercase letters.
Russian alphabet
Many well-known teachers - practitioners, such as Zaitsev, Doman, recommend starting to study letters and the alphabet with a child from 1.5 - 2 years. To help you, we offer cards prepared by us with large large Russian letters. You can print the Russian alphabet, print it out, cut it out and use them as a tool for learning sounds and syllables.
Currently, there are many methods for teaching a child to read. But without knowing the letters of the alphabet, it is naturally impossible to teach a child to read. The use of improvised material, in the form of cards with letters for children, will come in handy.
How to start learning letters with a child
First, you can print alphabet cards for children in one copy. To study only the letters of this will be enough.
With kids 1.5 -2 years old, you need to deal exclusively in a playful way, for several minutes a day. With children aged 3-4 years, the time of classes increases to 15 minutes a day.
If you decide to make the letters of the alphabet yourself and deal with the baby on your own, then do not load the child with only letters. The child needs variety, you can literally pay attention to the colors and shapes of objects in just a couple of minutes, then the child will be more interested.
And most importantly, you don’t need to grieve if the child does not immediately begin to “declare poetry” for you. Even if for several sessions he, as it seems to you, does not understand anything, and refuses to tell you letters and numbers, this is not at all the case. The child simply remembers everything, analyzes, time will pass, and you will be simply amazed by his abilities. Your task is to continue learning diligently.
When the child masters the letters, you can print the Russian alphabet in one or even 2 copies. Then you can study syllables with your child and make small words.

Let's continue. Typically, the font size is set by choosing from a list. In this case, everything is the same. Type your letter, select it with the mouse and set the desired size. That's just the creators of Word and other programs by no means thought that someone comes to mind to put such font size, at which one letter occupies the entire A4 sheet. For this reason, in the font size selection list, the maximum size is not so big - "only" 72 points.
If there is no desired size, then you can simply write it in the selection list, as shown in the figure, since the font size selection list is editable (what-what???). Unclear? Then you urgently need to learn Windows.
Again. Select your letter, then erase what is written there in the font selection list, and write what you need. What number to write? This generally depends on which type of font is chosen. Pick up until your letter is exactly the size of an A4 sheet. In my example, this is 800 points (more precisely, I was too lazy to select).
There was an important part of the article, but without JavaScript it is not visible!
Other ways to enlarge the letter to A4 size
As you may have noticed, the method shown above of stretching the letter to the entire A4 sheet has an obvious drawback - no matter how you increase the font size, the letter stubbornly does not want to become centered on A4. In the example below, this drawback is completely eliminated and the letter is located exactly in the center of the A4 sheet.
In this example, the problem is solved in a different way, but again in Word. It is worth remembering that almost any task has more than one way of implementation. You just need to be good at what you are doing. However, method number one is much more popular - few people want to think!
How to print numbers on an entire A4 sheet in Word
A very similar task - in my opinion, and generally completely similar to the one discussed above. To create huge numbers for the size of A4, you can use all the same methods that I showed in. So if you need to make one number fit on the sheet (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or the number 0), then consider that you can already do it. Well, this, of course, if you carefully read what was written above.
And in addition to this, I, perhaps, will show you another way to increase the inscriptions to the entire sheet. Namely, contour symbols in A4 size. An example is shown in the figure. True, there is already a fill there, but you can guess for yourself how to remove it ... (hint: shape properties).
Why is this needed? Well, for example, in order to color it all later. :) And indeed - after all, color printers are not so common. By the way, you can read about printing color images on a black and white printer.
To make a figure in the entire A4 sheet, first remove the margins or make them as narrow as possible (about changing the margins). After that, from the Ribbon menu in the "Insert" section, select WordArt and add it to the sheet. Then just increase the font, everything is clear. It is only worth considering one feature.
Use the text frame markers around the edges to expand the margin so that your number will fit. Otherwise, it will go beyond the borders of the frame and part of the figure will not be visible. You also need to center the text so that it is in the middle of the sheet. To do this, drag it outside the border of the frame (usually down).
Features of printing letters in A4 sheet size
There are some features of text printing such sizes that I did not show above (lazy). You can watch it in a demo video where I show the process of creating giant letters in Word.
Video tutorial on increasing letters and numbers in Word to A4 sheet size
A fairly simple example shows how to make a huge letter or number. Large inscriptions are usually printed from such letters. How to do it, look at the video.
