Five Little Penguins Slipping on the Ice
We had a lot of fun reading Five Little Penguins Slipping on the Ice by Steve Metzger and doing some great activities to go along with the story.
I put out some water and added some blue ice cubes and some penguins. Hunter loved this and played with it for a very long time!
I froze some water on a pan so that the penguins could go ice skating. Hunter didn’t care for this activity too much at first, but once he got into it he really enjoyed it. He even requested to play with it again later.
We propped up the ice and tested to see which toys would slide down the ice. We tried things other than the penguins, but I didn’t get a picture of that.
I made a penguin out of an oatmeal box and provided some fish.
Hunter tried to throw the fish into the penguin’s belly.
I made some shape penguins and laminated them.
As I called out a shape, Hunter had to find it and stand on the correct shape.
Then I added numbers to the penguins
We counted out the appropriate number of fish and put them on the penguin with that number on it.
It was another week of fun here at Our Crafts N Things!
