Yoo-Hoo Ladybug! by Mem Fox
Craft:
This week's craft was inspired by the paperbag monkey costume found at http://www.bellebebes.co.uk/tag/owl/. We did not use a paperbag but instead made a flat monkey head out of cardstock. A face was printed onto half a sheet of cardstock. Two circles were glued to the sides for the ears. A craft stick was glued above the eyes for the eyebrow.
Literacy Extensions:
- Talk about the different types of sentences and how they change depending on the ending punctuation (i.e. Exclamation Point)
- Play a game of I Spy with your child focusing on colors and letters of the alphabet (i.e. Yoo-Hoo Ladybug!)
