From Head to Toe

From Head to Toe by Eric Carle is a big favorite around our house. Sometimes we read it no less than five times in one sitting and act out every single page, every single time. So I decided to make a few little games to go with this family favorite. 

 Here is our first day of From Head to Toe activities. First we scanned our QR Code Listening Center and listened to the story. This particular reading is a SONG (that's why I didn't read it). The video plays each page of the book but the reading they have made into an adorable song with funny voices for each animal. The girls loved it. 

They raised their shoulders like a buffalo.....

Arched their back like a cat.....

Bend their knees like a camel....

LOVED it. As usual. 

Then we played Roll and Move. A cute, little dice game. Marin rolled the dice and counted the dots. Then she drew an animal card. She had to act out the movement the number of times rolled. For example....

She rolled two. (She counts the dots on the big dice to practice one to one correspondence. I found the die at the Dollar Tree a long time ago but I still see them there some times.)

Then she drew a card.....WIGGLE YOUR HIPS LIKE A CROCODILE! 

So she wiggled her hips two times. And let me tell you, it was some really cute wiggling. 

Today we will do Animal Movement patterns. They will follow the pattern already made on the cards then they will have an opportunity to make their own pattern with a pattern board and animal pieces. Can't wait!
