Children glued two long strips of red paper together before gluing on two red Clifford ears.  Since this was such a simple craft this week, we also did a Clifford coloring sheet.

Literacy Extensions:
- Discuss with your child what ingredients they like on a pizza.  Help them come up with a list of everything they would need to buy to make a pizza.  (i.e. The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza)
- Practice letter identification with your child.  As you read a book, have them point out all the letter "R"s that they see.
