Letter "Rr" Recognition Craft Projects & Activities We spend one week reinforcing each letter with crafts and activities after it is introduced. "Rr" is for Under Construction "Rr" is for Rain.

First-School Letter Rr page Carl's Corner Letter R - This comes with a sheet to color, cut, and paste to the letter. Letter R & Rabbit Sponge Painting Invest in some Alphabet and misc. sponges for crafts like this. They are about $2 or $3 per bag at Walmart. Also available from school supply stores. We use ours to make a page like this for every letter we are learning from September through May. Parents are encouraged to take them home and post them where the child can see and practice every day. When we finish the entire alphabet they can make them into a book or put them into a binder. Group Time Activity Rectangle Robots Provide children with lots of different size, colorful construction paper rectangles. Write the word rectangle on the board. Have children read the word with you elongating the beginning r sound. Hold up a large rectangle so that children understand its shape (two short sides and two long sides). Then write the word robot on the board, pointin out that this word also begins with r. Have children create robots by gluing rectangles onto large sheets of construction paper. They can add details with crayons and markers. Ask them to think of one special thing their robots can do, such as wash the car or walk the dog. Help them write the phrase on the paper, using this sentence frame: My robot can _____. Display children's robots around the room. Red Rubbings Make red rubbings. Write the words "red rubbings" at the top of a page. Then collect things from around the house that are flat and place them under the paper. Rub with the side of a red crayon on top of the paper. This process will create a red image of the object. Suggested objects for red rubbings are stencils of the letter r, road (use the sidewalk and pretend it's a road), rice, or maybe a ruler. This would also be a good day to ride bikes and trikes on a pretend road. Back to Themes, Crafts, and Activities Email Sheril! Return to Ceres Childcare & Preschool
