Welcome to stART! I hope that you will enjoy our story and art project and maybe even share your own too! The linky will be open all week.
This week we read The Three Little Kittens, retold by Margaret Barton. This is a book that is based on the classic nursery rhyme. Emily enjoyed the fuzzy pages while we read the story.
I was very excited when I found this book because we just did the cutest project at Mommy and Me based on the nursery rhyme The Three Little Kittens. This book went along with the puppet we made perfectly!
To make the puppet the teacher had all of the pieces cut out and ready at the craft table.
- Emily had to glue 2 gray circles together (a small one for the head and a large one for the body).
- Next, she glued on the ears, nose and mouth.
- Then, she put on the eyes, which are green dot stickers with a back circle colored in the middle.
- Emily drew on the whiskers with a marker.
- Finally, I helped her thread the white yarn through the holes that were punched out in the body of the cat and also through the mittens (she got to pick which color she wanted for her mittens, no surprise that she picked GREEN!!). The yarn goes around the back of the cat to connect the two mittens.
When you pull the yarn it makes the mittens go close to the cat’s body.
Emily’s Kitten found her mittens!!!
This book is one of Joe's favorites.
ReplyDeleteEmily's little cat and mittens are adorable!!
How adorable! Very cute and creative idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet puppet and how lovely that you can use it when you read this book.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to link our activity that we did this week.
I love that she likes green, so does my preschooler. Such a cute puppet!
ReplyDeleteCute Puppet!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! I found you from Tot School, and I see our girls are around the same age. Once upon a time I was a Pre-K teacher, and I've found that teaching 30 kids is easier than caring for 2 kids.
ReplyDeleteooh so cute! i love your stARTs and hope to get involved myself soon...
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love this book - it's a classic! The crafit is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so Cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm thinking of doing a week of nursery rhymes so we'll have to do this.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting little puppet - how great to find a book to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out super cute. When we did 3 Little Kittens last year we had to go out and buy mittens to be able to act it out.
ReplyDeleteOh man! We just talked about the letter "c" this week- I know this about Kittens, but what a F-U-N activity this would have been- will bookmark this for next year! I so adore how the mittens move!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute craft (as always)! My daughter loves The Three Little Kittens! She has the book and I got a cd from the Dollar Tree that has the song on it. She loves singing "meow, meow"!
ReplyDeleteI really love this project - so cute. The book sounds like fun too - perhaps we will see if our library has it. Kitten's eyes look perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'll have to show Abby this kitty!
ReplyDeleteI made a template for this project. Do you mind if I post it on my blog if I credit you for the idea? Thanks for the cute project post!
