Preschool Corner ~ Kittens For Keeps

Let me show you Aiden’s new love ~Willow, a bobtailed, six toed sweet heart! 

She is the purr-fect pet for our family ~ as she is constantly being held, kissed, hugged and played with, and she LOVES it!

Since Aiden is all about kittens I pulled out one of our favorite Before Five in a Row books Kittens for Keeps.  This book is a reprint of Jenny’s Surprise Summer which is listed in Before Five In A Row.  The only difference is the name of the little girl and kittens.

Kittens for Keeps is about a little girl, Meg, who spends the summer with her grandmother at her house by the beach. Meg is on the beach when a storm moves in and she finds shelter in a cave, where she finds two kittens.

Math: Counting and Stamping Paw Prints

I made a sheet with individual blocks for Aiden to stamp paw prints.  He rolled a dice, counted, and added the correct number of paw prints to the chart until it was full.

Science: Animal Coverings

I used a large piece of felt and added a piece of fur, feathers, fabric that looked like snake skin and a shell to it.  In a small basket I added animals, birds, etc. 

Aiden sorted the animals by their coverings.    

Sensory Tub:  Alphabet Shells

I hid our alphabet shells in the sand for Aiden to find.     

Just for Fun:  Playing Veternarian

Aiden and Emily played Veternarian. 

 

They gave each and every one of our stuffed animals a check-up.
