Flying and Stinging Things

We Read:

Sam and the Firefly, by PD Eastman

and

Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears, by Verna Aardema.

We Made:

Felt Finger Puppets!

Just draw your self some templates and use a sharpie to trace them onto the felt. Have the children cut two body pieces and one wing piece. Then, you can stitch and embellishments you would like on the front, back and wings. Next, you stitch the wings to the back and then stitch the front and back together, leaving a space at the bottom to stick your finger. Finally, glue on any additional embellishments that you desire!

We Ate:

Bread with butter and honey.
