Cats Story Time: June 9-10, 2014

Books:
Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes *
Love That Kitty! by Jeff Jarka *
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin *
Top Cat by Lois Ehlert
What Will Fat Cat Sit On? by Jan Thomas *

Craft: Long Tailed Cat
Each child colored a cat body cutout before choosing the color of diecut spiral tail they would like to glue to the cat.  The diecut spirals can also be made by cutting out a circle and then cutting it in a spiral pattern from an other edge to the center.

Literacy Extensions:
- Discuss characteristics of cats with your child.  Have then act out those behaviors and characteristics. (i.e. Love That Kitty)
- Extend the Pete the Cat story by having your child come up with additional things for Pete to step in.  They then also have to say what color his shoes would turn.
