Giraffes Can't Dance

5/27/2020

0 Comments

 

Today we read Giraffes Can't Dance. This book teaches children accept their own differences as well as others.  
We traced our hand and arm to make adorable giraffes.  The older kids drew giraffes and painted with water colors. 
We used pattern blocks to build various zoo animals. Traced and built the letter Gg and enjoyed some time outdoors! 
The older kids painted the first letter of their name, decorated and glued tissue paper to canvas. Once the canvas and letters were dry we glued the painted letter on the canvas.

Put Me in the Zoo....

We read Put Me in the Zoo a silly book about colors and a lively tale that proves there is a special spot for everyone!
We made our own animal with spots; the younger kids used stickers and the older kids used pom poms for their spots.  While waiting for our project to dry we stacked cups and they wanted bugs to hide!  We also made "spot" names!
The older kids made summer flip flops!

Pigs....

​Do you know why pigs roll in the mud?  Rolling around in the mud helps to keep pigs from overheating when it gets too hot outside. To help protect their skin from sunburn, pigs use mud as a form of sunscreen.

I made "mud" slime for each kid and invited the kids to roll pigs in the mud.  I added some letters and one kiddo asked if he could have scissors to cut his slime.  Perfect fine motor practice!

We also used sponges and paint to create muddy pigs.
