Our letter clipart covers both kinds of letters kids meet at school: the ABC kind they sound out, and the paper kind they fold, seal and mail. You will find 12 drawn pictures here, from a smiling letter A and a stack of ABC blocks to a red mailbox and a friendly mail carrier.
All of them save as PNG files with see-through backgrounds, so a letter sits right on a phonics page, word wall card or pen pal slide. Press Copy to drop one into a document in a single step. For writing tools to go with them, browse our pencil clipart, and for story time pictures see book clipart.

Phonics and Writing Ideas by Grade
- Pre-K: The letter E outline is for tracing. Children follow the lines with a finger first, then color the egg.
- Kindergarten: Put the letter A on a letter of the week chart, and let kids sort pictures by first sound below it.
- Grade 1: Use the X sticker as a reward during word hunts, and the mail carrier for community helper talks.
- Grades 2 and 3: Teach the friendly letter with the girl writing at her desk, then send real notes using the class mailbox.
- Grades 4 and 5: The bundle of old letters starts a talk about how news traveled before the internet.

Building a Word Wall or Alphabet Strip
Our page has a handful of single letters, not all 26. For a full alphabet strip, type each letter in a big rounded font on a card, then add one of our pictures for that sound: the apple beside A, the egg beside E, the xylophone beside X.
Each image file is 1000 pixels square. On paper that stays sharp to about 3 inches across at 300 dpi, so it fits a standard word wall card. If a picture lands on your card inside a white box, set it to sit in front of the text in your word processor, and the clear background will show.
For a classroom post office, print the envelope outline on colored paper, cut it out and glue it to small paper bags. Each bag becomes a mailbox.
Questions people ask
Where can I find letter a clipart for a phonics page?
The smiling red A with an apple is in the first section. It pairs the letter with a word that starts with its sound, which helps beginning readers. Download it as a PNG and paste it at the top of your page.
Do you have alphabet letters clip art for all 26 letters?
This page has a few featured letters plus ABC blocks rather than a full set. A neat trick is to type the other letters in a large rounded font and add a matching picture from our other pages beside each one.
Is there letter clipart black and white I can color?
Yes. The letter E, the envelope and the mailbox come in black and white. The two outlines are for coloring and tracing, and the mailbox is a solid silhouette for cutting.
What mail clipart works for a community helpers unit?
Use the mail carrier holding a letter, plus the red mailbox and the boy mailing a letter. Together they tell the story of where a letter goes after you write it.
Can I put the ABC clipart on a printable I sell?
Not without asking first. The ABC blocks and every other picture here are free for personal, classroom and non-commercial use, with no credit needed. If the ABC picture will be on something for sale, ask us on our Contact page before you list it. Reselling the files themselves is not allowed.
