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.
