Draw and Tell<\/span><\/h2>\n

No Pets Allowed by Richard Thompson<\/strong><\/a> follows a boy named Timmy. \u00a0Timmy really wants a pet, but no pets are allowed in the small apartment where he and his family live.<\/p>\n

This draw and tell is perfect for preschoolers and great for repetitive and chant-along phrases. \u00a0Toddlers closer to three also enjoyed this story, but this may be too confusing for the very young ones. \u00a0The older kids–about 1st to 2nd grade–picked up quickly what the end product would be.<\/p>\n

Film we watched<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"We watched a film about an alligator taxi, called Monty (from the DVD Crazy Hair Day<\/a>). \u00a0The film was based on the picture book by James Stevenson.<\/p>\n

Craft<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Mini Alligator Bag Puppet”<\/p>\n

\"alligator<\/p>\n

This small puppet is based on a version of this one from abctech.com<\/a>. \u00a0It was redrawn to fit the scale of the small paper bags.<\/p>\n

Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n

alligator template
\npaper bags
\nglue sticks
\nscissors
\ncrayons<\/p>\n

How to make them<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Color the template<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Cut out the alligator template<\/p>\n

3. Glue the pieces onto a paper bag. \u00a0I suggest gluing the inside of the mouth first, then the head, body, and finally legs and arms.<\/p>\n
