Penguins and Puffins

 Our TTh 3 y/o class had a lot of fun with penguins and puffins.   What did we learn?

• We learned that puffins and penguins are birds. 
• Birds have feathers.
• Birds lay eggs. 
• Birds have wings.
• Puffins can fly but penguins cannot fly.  
• Penguins and puffins have webbed feet.  Why?  

Ask your child to tell you about penguins and puffins. Want to know more?  Head to the library for books on penguins and puffins.

Our penguin craft is super cute.  Our crafts at MCP are not only cute but have teachable moments throughout the whole craft.  We talk about colors, shapes, size and spatial relationships.  The black circle goes at the top of the black oval.  The orange circle goes between the eyes.  It's about listening to the teacher and following directions. 

 We created a puffin, too.  There are a LOT of pieces to these two projects but our 3 y/o are now ready for more complicated crafts.  We are learning to listen and follow teacher directions (and how to glue).

What was your child's favorite? Penguins or puffins?
