Kid Activities, Crafts and Printables for Fun Learning and Creativity

Letter of the Week A-Z Series: R is for Rabbit

Kids can have fun with these R is for Rabbit activities as they learn the letter R. Download the free printables to make crafting, playing, and learning easy.

My daughter chose the word Rabbit for our letter R activities so I put together some fun activities and printables that would go along with rabbits and read the book, Peter Rabbit because we love Book Themed Activities. Since Peter always seems to be in Mr. McGregor’s garden and we have been spending time on our little garden, it was the perfect time to talk about food and nutrition. Both my kids (preschooler and toddler) had so much fun learning, crafting, and playing together as we continued on with our alphabet activities with the letter R.

  • Since baking soda and vinegar are always a fun reaction to play with, we made some Fizzy Bubble Paper and watched reactions happen magically as we painted with vinegar ice cubes. The paper is really simple to make and it’s a great inexpensive way to keep littles entertained while being creative.
  • Kids can play while learning about balance. They have to concentrate and think logically and strategically all while having fun.
  • Let kiddos get their hands a little messy with this ocean inspired activity. Gather up things from the kitchen and let them free play. In my experience, anything messy keeps kids interested for a long time.
  • This amazing set of alphabet roads mats provides a fun way for children to learn write letters. They include a practice page, tracing lines, guiding arrows and stop signs, and phonics pictures for bonus learning.
  • Today I have another Recycled Craft to share, yay! Follow the EASY directions to make a butterfly craft that’s beautiful and unique using recycled milk jugs and pens.
  • We are starting out the week with a balance and float water game that is super easy to set up (inexpensive too), that improves concentration, patience, and fine motor control all while having fun. The water needs to be calm during this activity. The Game is to balance ping pong balls on top of floating pool noodles. It’s as simple as that!

    Your "R" activity and your kids are really cute!

    I came over on the Good-Tips Tuesday link up. I'm glad to find your site!

    My kids are now in college, but I often get to help with little children in my church. I will keep your activity in mind!

    Blessings to you,
