Play With Me
January 25th 2010 18:34
Following on from our animal theme we have been reading the charming book, Play With Me written by Marie Hall Ets. It features a little girl who ventures outside to play with the wild animals only to discover that at first they are too frightened to go near her. The text and pictures are charming in this book and is one of my daughter's favourites.
Homeschool Share provided us with some book related suggestions, the favourite one of my daughter being the Guess Who Animal game.
We stumbled upon a fun birdcage craft and my partner and daughter even built a birdhouse and feeder from a $5 craft pack we discovered in a supermarket.
For the younger children we found a dot painting frog as well as an alphabet dot to dot.
For those that like fingerpainting here were a couple of animal fingerpainting ideas which gave us some inspiration.
For turtle lovers, here is a fun turtle craft as well as an easy turtle to colour.
And let's not forget the paper chain snake.
A book like this provides lots of opportunities for animal spotting, although as it is winter at the moment, our animal spotting is diminished slighly with only some squirrels and a few birds - however better than nothing.
Springtime is a great time of year to visit this story however any time of the year is great to read inspirational stories to your children.
