Rumor has it there’s a lowercase R craft ready to bounce its way into your home and into your child’s heart. With a twitch of its little nose and a wiggle of its long ears, the adorable rabbit in this ABC Craft is ready to help teach your child the letter R!
Cut out the templates and trace the letter R and the rabbit’s ears, nose, and tail onto card stock.
Cut out the letter R and the rabbit pieces.
Glue the letter R to a piece of card stock (we used yellow, but you can use any color you like).
Attach the inner ears to the ear pieces.
Tuck the ears under the upper edge of the letter R and glue in place.
Tuck the tail under the lower edge of the letter R and glue in place.
Glue the nose to the letter R as shown in the video below.
Position a googly eye near the upper edge of the letter R between the ears and the nose.
Learning with Your Letter R Craft
As you and your child assemble your R Is for Rabbit Craft, practice saying /r/–/r/–rabbit together. You can find more tips for working on pre-reading skills with your preschooler in this handy download.
We would LOVE to see how your lowercase R craft turns out! Please share your photos with us on our Facebook page, or tag your Instagram photos with the hashtag #allaboutABCcrafts!

I know what you mean, Cryssy! My “baby” will turn 12 this month, and I know she (and others of my kids) would have loved these animal letter crafts. Oh, well, there is always future grandbabies!
My son has enjoyed doing these letter activities—and they are easy enough for my oldest daughter to put together and do with him (while I work with a sibling or get other work done!).
Jennifer,
It’s great that you can get your daughter to help out with your son with these crafts! Hopefully they are crafting special memories together.
