P is for Pets

This week we did a little pet theme at our house and preschool co-op.  Here are some of the activities we did:

Books:

Hi Cat! By Ezra Jack Keats
Pet Show by Ezra Jack Keats

Discussion questions:

 After reading some of the stories the girls took turns playing the dog color match game found here.

 Then we colored a stick puppet parrot. (I can’t remember the source–will try to find it.)

 Later in the week we talked about how God wants us to care for our pets. I created two pet coloring sheets—one with “God wants us to care for our pets” and one that just says “Pp is for Pets“.  Feel free to use them!

One of the activities I wanted to do this year with my almost 4yr. old was to develop a word wall. Well I just don’t have the wall space to do that. Carissa at 1+1+1=1 came up with ABC cards that fit in a baseball card sleeve. Since we are using those and already have our notebook set up, I decided to create a couple of themed word cards (I’ll be sharing more of them in the next couple of weeks). My daughter loves to “read” her notebook. You can download the PET THEMED WORD CARDS here.
