Other Letter R Activites

Here are some other Letter R activities that we did during our week:

We had races with these cars that I picked up at the dollar store. Bekah loved this activity and has wanted to play with these cars again and again. In the picture below she even made a road for them.


Rice writing. I poured some rice in a baking sheet and showed Bekah how to use her finger to write in the rice. This kept her busy for a long time!


Rice Cake Art.
We used sweetened condensed milk with some food coloring to paint on the rice cake. I didn't think Bekah would like eating this, but she loved it and ate two of them!




Letter R Scavenger Hunt. This was printed out from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I wasn't prepared, so I kept having to help Bekah find letter R things. We found:
Roary (her webkinz dog), a rose, a rabbit, and a rope.

We also did this activity where Bekah had to cut out the pictures that began with the letter R and paste them to the sheet with the letter R on it. I found this printable at Homeschool Creations.

It was such a fun week!

R is for Rainbow

We had a blast during letter R week doing rainbow activities. There are so many wonderful ideas out there that I wish we could have done, but the week went by quickly. Here's some of the rainbow activities we during the week.

We made a rainbow book. This was an idea I had seen at Delightful Learning. There is also a video to watch on her site that helps with putting this book together. Bekah loved making her rainbow book!


We made rainbow crayons. Next time I will use cupcake liners. They took a little bit of work to get them out without liners. This was fun to do and a wonderful way to use up broken crayons. Bekah helped me unwrap all of the crayons, so it was also a great fine motor activity!


This roll a rainbow activity comes from Confessions of a Homeschooler. She has a lot of great printable activities that center around rainbows. We used a lot of her printables. This one was definitely a favorite!

Another activity we did from this same blog is the upper and lowercase letter matching.

A yummy activity we did with our rainbow theme was to make a rainbow cake. I actually took the easy way and make a funfetti cake. Bekah loved it!

R is for Rabbit

We started our R week with R is for Rabbit. I figured that with Easter and Spring right around the corner this was a perfect theme.

First we made an R is for Rabbit. I saw this idea at Always Something to Learn.


I also saw this idea at Always Something to Learn. It's a Rabbit file folder game.
You can find it here.


This shadow matching game that I printed that was a bit tough for Bekah, but we worked on it together to get it. I found this with the Runaway Bunny Lapbook at Homeschool Creations.


I also found this Rabbit sequence at Homeschool Creations that Bekah worked on. She's really getting good at sequencing!


She even fell asleep with one of her rabbits. My sweetie!
