Lowercase z with Curled Bubble Ends

A single lowercase letter z fills the page, drawn as a thick, rounded outline with nothing else around it. The top bar curves down at its left end into a soft hook, and the bottom bar curls up at the right end into a matching hook. A long slanted line connects the two bars. The inside is left completely blank, so the whole letter is one big shape to color. Kids can use this free printable to practice recognizing the end of the alphabet. Try coloring the two curled ends in one color and the diagonal stroke in another, so children can see how the letter is built from three parts. Younger kids can trace the outline with a finger first, then fill it in with crayons or markers. It also works well on a classroom alphabet wall.
