R is a sound kids love to growl, so try roar, run and red together. Rainbows are a natural R theme: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, always in that order. Rabbits are brown, gray or white, and robots can be any color your child invents. Rainy spring days are a good time to bring out rainbow R pages.
A rainbow R is a good way to learn color order. Have your child color stripes along the R in rainbow order, starting with red on the outside. Saying the colors out loud turns it into a memory game.
