Burnham Bunch: Feet

Four Fur Feet

Read: Dancing Feet by Lindsey Craig and Four Fur Feet by Margaret Wise Brown
Craft: Mysterious Animal
Before I began reading Four Fur Feet, I summarized that a mysterious animal with four fur feet decided to take a walk around the world. I asked them to try to imagine what the mysterious animal looked like.
  • Need: Various pictures of animal heads and tails, glue sticks, crayons, scissors and construction paper.
  • I asked each child to pick out a head and a tail.
  • My kiddos are 2 1/2 - 5 years old. So, some can and have used scissors. I precut some "body" shapes for the wee ones. The older children cut their own bodies.
And this is what they all came up with!

This is what we began with: Four Fur Feet
