The kids covered a small paper plate with green paper squares.  They then colored cutouts of Oscar's eyes/eyebrow and mouth before gluing them on the plate also to make Oscar's face.


Literacy Extensions:
- I Stink! gives an alphabetical listing of items found in the trash.  See if your child can come up with another alphabetical listing of trash items without using the same ones.
- Many trash companies also pick up recycling.  Discuss with your child things that can be recycled and things that should be thrown in the trash.
