title graphic for R Is for Raccoon ABC Craft

Watch out for this week’s ABC Craft! In the blink of a googly eye, our cute masked bandit will steal your little one’s heart—and teach about the letter R at the same time.

Here’s What You’ll Need

Instructions for Assembling Your Letter R Craft

  1. Print the R Is for Raccoon Craft templates.
  2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter R and the raccoon tail, tail stripes, ears, nose, and eye mask onto card stock.
  3. Cut out the letter R and the raccoon body parts.
  4. Glue the letter R onto a full sheet of card stock (we used blue, but you can use any color you like).
  5. Glue the tail stripes onto the tail and attach it to the letter R, tucking it under the edge of the letter.
  6. Attach the ears, nose, and eye mask to the letter R.
  7. Affix two googly eyes to the raccoon’s eye mask.

When we do release our lowercase craft series, we will be sure to announce through our newsletter, on our blog, and on our Facebook page!
