This week, as part of our 5 Book Challenge,
We are reading,

In The Tall Tall Grass

By Denise Flemming

This has lots of good illustrations with lots of great rhymes.

First, I sewed a piece of green felt to blue felt

Elle Belle's Bows did this fun idea with paper!

I cut out the green felt to look like grass.

Then we cut out pieces of felt to look like the animals in the book

And Miss Sassy used fabric paint to decorate the pieces.

This was such an amazing process for Miss S.
This is the first real time that she looked at a picture
And tried to recreate it.

 

Then, we hid the creatures in the Tall Tall Grass

It was a fun challenge for her to

try remember where each animal was hidden.

She would find them and then I hid them in different places.

Other Fun Extentions:

Hide each finger puppet, find them and act out a play.

Glue flannel to the back of religious pictures.

Bring it to church and have your child quietly find the pictures.

How would you extend this activity?

Our other 5 Day Challenge Books are:

I would love to make mud cakes with worms in them with Miss Sassy!

I can't quite figure out and extension for this one,

But it's a great vocabulary builder, believe it or not.

This is a fun counting book

With the same illustrator as If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

Oh, Frog and Toad.

 Remember these guys?
