stART - The Little Red Hen

 

Each Thursday A Mommy's Adventures does a great blog carnival. Read a story to your child; then accompany it by art.

This week, our first book was The Little Red Hen by Heather Forest 

 

Cute pictures to accompany this traditional story. We liked the baby corgi especially :)

We got to do our stART project with a friend this week; one of the mommies that I swap kits with for preschool came over so our kids could play and we decided to do our preschool activities too. This is one of two we did (I'll post the other one later when I post about tot school for the week).

So, after we read our story, we made baker's hats.

 

Each kid had three circles and a square of white construction paper. They glued the circles on in a line at the top of the square. 

Then we took two long strips, stapled them together, and measured their heads. Then we stapled that together and stapled the square onto the front.

My friend also had the story on a scholastic video, so after we cleaned up, the kiddos watched this.

It was good because the little siblings joined in too, one at a time :)

 

  

Good thing they didn't think about last week's game of Five Little Monkeys (okay, there's only four at the time, but that's because the littlest one was sleeping)
