Mother Mother I Feel Sick Send for the Doctor Quick Quick Quick

Craft: Gingerbread Person
Each child was given a coloring sheet of a gingerbread person. They were directed to color it like they would like to paint themselves (i.e. I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!). I also handed out sparkles for those who would like to add them to their picture.
Literacy Extensions:
- Explain how different words can mean the same thing (i.e. Chicken Cheeks). See if your child can come up with some examples.
- Use The Belly Book as an opening to talk about healthy eating.
Notes:
While I love all of the books I used this week, they really do go over best with the older children. The Belly Book was a little long for the toddlers we had. Also, the humor of Chicken Cheeks goes over better with slightly older children. Although I did hear a lot of snickering from the parents on that one.
