Need a great activity for your little ones that not only will entertain them but is educational at the same time? This Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Activity is just that! Print off your copy and watch as your kids enjoy this fun activity!
It’s no secret my oldest dude loves letters. It’s also no surprise that he LOVES the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I mean, a book…about LETTERS! OMG! He can recite it…without the book. He also loves to act out the book with his magnetic letters.
Supplies for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Activity:
- My Coconut Tree Printable (may be downloaded from the link below)
- White Cardstock
- Small cookie sheet
- Magnetic set of alphabet letters
- Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Book
- Laminator (optional but recommended)
- Laminator Pouches
I made him this printable that I just attach to a cheap cookie sheet an then he can use his magnetic letters on the board. He loves it. It works great in the car also because the letters stay stuck to the cookie sheet and he knows the book by heart!
I printed this on a piece of white cardstock and I use the HP Envy 5540 Wireless All-In-One Printer and signed up for HP Instant Ink. I highly recommend this! Never run out of ink at 11 pm when you have to print out your kid’s report! Or when you need them to stay entertained with this activity because you have stuff to do…because let’s face it…#procrastinatorsunite.
Simply print the printable and I like to laminate it so that it holds up to play. You can take it to an office supply store or I highly recommend investing in a home laminator. I have found so many things to laminate and it’s a lifesaver to have right at home!
Note: print the printable with “no margins” setting or “fill page” and then you won’t have the white borders like mine does!
You can also combine all these things as a sweet gift for a young one learning their letters. The book is so fun and catchy it will be sure to be a hit!
Mine sure likes it
Stay tuned…I am working on a Chicka Chicka 1-2-3 printable as well! As always, this printable is free for personal use only.

Did you ever hear the recording of this read by Ray Charles? Totally awesome, dude! We used it in the school I worked at and my grandkids loved it too. so glad to see it’s still around!

I have not! I am going to look for it now! Surely it’s on You Tube?

This was one of my kids’ favorite books when they were small. What a clever (and fun) idea! Found you through Our Delightful Home, and would love to have you stop by for a visit!
Michaela says
Oh my this is amazing! I loved Chicka Chicka as a kid and it was my favorite book to read to kids when I was working in schools. My little girl is only 9 months old, but this will be made in the future! Thanks so much for the idea!!!

So cute! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure my girl will love this when she’s a little bigger (though she already loves the story at 2.5).
Alison says
What a fun activity! I have always adored the book “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” I know my Little man would love to do the magnets, so we will be using your printable! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!

Sooooo cute! My two year old is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom obsessed at the moment. Did you attach the print out (glue, magnets, packing tape) to the cookie sheet or do you just have your little one lay it on top?
Cheryl says
Hi Tiffany! Once laminated, the print is the extact same width as the cookie sheet and it just fits right in. For your younger one, who likes to pick things up and move them around, I’d recommend some scotch tape rolled on the back! Thanks so much for stopping over! Have a great day!
Lindsay @ Makely says
Stop it! This is so awesome. SO awesome!
Cheryl says
Thanks!!! Chicka Chicka 1-2-3 is on it’s way too! The little has been bugging me for that for some time now! I need to finally finish it!
