Craft: Night Sky Picture
Our craft this week was based on the picture at left. The kids colored a half piece of cardstock to make a night sky. They then colored and glued on a letter "N", moon, and cloud before putting on star stickers.
Literacy Extensions:
- After reading The Nose Book, have your child "write" books for other parts of the body.
- If your child colored their night sky picture with a colorful sky, point out that they added the "Northern Lights". Then learn a little about the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis.
Notes:
I wasn't sure how the book Mama Built a Little Nest would go over. It is a little longer than I would usually share in story time -- especially with all the captions throughout the book. However, I just shared a small snippet of information from the captions. The kids were fascinated by the different types of nests that birds built.
