About Letter R coloring pages

R is a growly sound, and kids enjoy saying it. Letter R coloring pages give it plenty of company: a rabbit, a raccoon, a rhino, a rooster, a rocket, a robot, a rainbow and a race car.

Children who have done P will spot it fast: the capital R is a P with a leg kicked out. Color the round top first, then the leg. A rainbow page is the best place to practice the order of colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

How to use letter R coloring pages for learning

  1. Growl the R. Say "rrr, rabbit" like a little growl. Kids who struggle with R can practice it slowly while they color.

  2. Rainbow order. On a rainbow page, color the bands in order. Make up a silly sentence to remember them.

  3. Rocket countdown. Count down from ten before your child colors the rocket. On zero, they start.

  4. R and P. Put an R and a P side by side. What is different? The R has an extra leg.

Questions parents and teachers ask

My child cannot say R yet. Will these pages help?

Many children say R as W until age 5 or 6, which is normal. Coloring pages give a fun reason to practice the sound without pressure. If you are worried, ask your child's teacher or doctor.

What colors start with R?

Red, rose, ruby and rust start with R. Red is one of the first colors children learn, so it is a good match for this letter.

Can I download all printable letter R coloring sheets as one PDF?

Yes. When pictures are on this page, the Download all button at the top saves every one into a single PDF.

How do I make an R activity for preschool?

Color a rainbow page and a rocket page, then read a short space or weather book. Ask your child to find words in the book that start with R.
