There was such a great variety of letter R foods, lots of quick and easy snacks, meals, and treats that were perfect for us talking about Letter R, though I’m pretty sure all of our favorite were the red velvet cupcakes… followed by the raspberries. I also loved that for this this letter, having little ones at home, I had a bunch of these snacks, like raisins, rice cakes and ritz crackers already in my cupboard and ready to go which made building this board a little easier, and my kids, like always, were all over it as soon as it was done, and with the chocolate reese, rolos, and again raspberries (which are my favorite) I was right there with them.

There are so many options for Letter R, and I’m sure I’ve missed a few, if you happen to notice any please comment below and I’ll be sure to get them added.
