Have You Seen My Duckling? by Nancy Tafuri is a great spring book to have in your home library. Few words but fun illustrations make this book engaging for young children. Our TTh class will be learning about birds this week. We read this book today, looked for the duckling and had some laughs about the ducks that were bottom up! Next was a craft...
| Scrapbook paper, green construction paper w/straight black lines and yellow duck die cuts |
We had a large amount of scrap booking paper donated to our program that have given our crafts a fresh new look. You can buy the duck die cuts at school supply stores.
First we gave each child and a scissors to cut the green paper into grass. More cutting practice!!!
Next the children glued the grass onto blue paper. Each child glued their ducks onto the grass. They were given no other direction than to glue their ducks. I love how they lined up the ducks and have the one adventurous duck out on his own just like the book. Too cute!
