As always, after each Storytime reading, Ms. Linda leads a fun family-oriented DIY craft project to enrich everyone’s experience of this book. While you’re doing that craft project, we encourage parents and caregivers to talk about the story, asking kids to recall their favorite parts, to count aloud, and learn more about numbers.
Why not prepare for that craft session now? You'll need the following craft supplies:
-- A reusable metal cookie tray, or any kind of metal tray
-- A dispenser of clear adhesive tape (like Scotch Tape)
-- A pair of “grown-up” scissors as well as a pair of smaller children’s scissors
-- A sharp pencil
-- A set of colorful magnetic numbers (most Dollar Stores carry inexpensive sets of magnetic letters and numbers.
