How To

Print out or draw the outline of an uppercase letter R. Using scissors,
cut out a long rectangle for the rocket and glue it onto the straight side of the letter R. Next, cut out two smaller triangles and glue them to the sides of the rocket body, with the inner triangle following the lines of the letter R.

Then, cut out a flame shape from orange construction paper and layer it onto red construction paper and glue them below the rocket body. If it’s easier, you and your child can draw the flames in too. Finish the rocket by adding a yellow nose and white circular window.

How To

Cut a sheet of black construction paper in half to create the “road.” Using a pair of scissors, trim small rectangles from a sheet of yellow construction paper and glue them down the middle of the road to form a divider.

Then, cut small rectangles or squares from different colored papers. Draw one uppercase and one lowercase letter R onto a square of paper and place them at the start of each side of the road. Draw a simple car shape onto each of the remaining squares of paper and an uppercase or lower case letter R.

Now it’s time for the fun to start. Invite your child to “drive” the cars into the correct lanes, steering those with lowercase Rs into one lane and those with uppercase Rs into the other lane.

How To

Draw or print out the outline of an uppercase letter R onto white paper and cut it out. Then cut out two long ears from pink and white construction paper, with the white slightly wider and longer than the pink. Lay the pink on top of the white and glue them to the top of the letter R, forming rabbit ears.

Next, create a fluffy white tail by gluing down a cotton ball to the lower back side of the R. Create the feet of the rabbit by cutting two semi-circle shapes from pink construction paper and gluing them to the bottom of the R. Finally, glue on googly eyes and create whiskers with black construction paper, string, pipe cleaners, or a marker.

How To

Have your child begin by drawing the outline of rolling hills and a river. They can draw in other letter R items, like rocks, robins, a road, rainbow or raft, or anything else they’d like to include in their nature scene.

Then have them add color to their drawing, using paint to fill in the river, rolling hills, and any other items they’ve added.

Tip: As an added challenge, ask your child to draw in some letter Rs floating down the river.

How To

Cut out an uppercase letter R from blue construction paper. Then, have your child cut cloud shapes from white construction paper and
glue them down towards the top of the R. Finally, have your child use the blue paint to create raindrop shapes falling from the clouds.

Tip: Add texture and dimension to this project by creating clouds with cotton balls or mini marshmallows.

How To

Draw or print out the outline of the letter R onto a sheet of white paper. Invite your child to fill the R with round dots using red paint. They could also fill their letter R with red markers, crayons, play dough, stickers, etc to complete this letter R activity.

How To

Print out or draw the outline of the letter R and gather a cup of rice, liquid glue, and a rimmed baking sheet. Set the letter R outline into the baking sheet. This will help contain loose grains of rice as your child works.

Fill the letter R with liquid glue, using a paint brush or cotton swab to help spread it out if needed. Then have your child use their fingers or a plastic spoon to scatter the rice onto the letter R, filling it in as mush as possible. Allow it to dry completely, then shake off any excess rice.

Tip: Add a pop of color to this project by painting over the rice once it’s dried.

Painting a rose is easier than you and your child may think! Set your space up with a sheet of plain paper and whatever color paint your child would like to use for their rose. You’ll also need a paint brush and a cotton swab.

You’ll create the shape of a rose by dipping your paint brush or cotton swab into the paint and creating small rounded arcs with it that overlap around each other (mimicking petals) and form a circular shape. Invite your child to experiment with the paint brush and cotton swab to decide which tool they enjoy working with more. Once the rose has dried, draw (or paint) in a leaf and stalk to complete it!

How To

Draw or print out the outline of the letter R. Then, work with your child to create the round ring shape. Start by drawing a larger circle with a smaller circle inside of it. Then cut out the circle, creating the first part of the ring.

Next, decide what kind of ring your child would like to create (ruby, emerald, diamond, etc). Draw the shape onto a piece of construction paper to cut out and glue onto your ring or use crayons or markers to draw it in on top of the round ring.

How To

Write the numbers 1 to 4 in the first half of a white sheet of paper. Draw rock outlines in groups of numbers between 1 and 4 on the other half of the paper. Then, ask your child to match each number they see with the correct amount of rocks.
