Craft: Paper Plate Stingray
This week's craft is based on the picture above. Paper plates were cut into quarters. Each child got one quarter to color. They then attached half a pipe cleaner to a hole punched at the pointy end of the quarter. Two googily eyes were glued onto the curved edge.
Literacy Extensions:
- Visit a local aquarium or zoo with ocean animal exhibits. In the summer, the St. Louis Zoo offers the chance for people to pet stingrays and baby sharks.
- Practice your counting while reading the books. Ask your child to count the different types of ocean creatures in the books.
