Craft: Goat Puppet (pictured above)
The puppet is made from a brown paper lunch bag that is cut down to 6". I made a couple of changes from the original in that I drew the eyes onto the face rather than using googily eyes. I also cut out horns from cardstock rather than using wooden spoons.
Literacy Extensions:
- Research the Australian foods mentioned in Possum Magic (i.e. vegamite, pavlova, etc.) to find out what they are. If you feel adventurous, try eating some of the foods.
- Come up with rhyming words to go with different animals like in The Magic Hat (i.e. road and toad, balloon and babbon, etc.)
