Read: Busy Boats by Tony Mitton and Ant Parker and Tugga-Tugga Tugboat by Kevin Lewis
Craft: Cruise Ship
Busy Boats discusses all types of boats -- Ships, row boats, sail boats, tug boats and etc. After we finished both books, we discussed the different types of boats, particularly cruise ships. We discussed some of the items you would find on a cruise ship: pool, food, life vest, anchor, and the Captain.
- I enlarged and copied a cruise ship picture found in the One World, Many Stories programming guide.
- Using Google images, I searched and printed clip art of a pool, food, life vest, anchor and Captain. And had my wonderful summer volunteer cut them out.
- After our discussion, I asked the children to color their ships and then glue on their clip art.
- And that is it! Really easy, but when you have a "big" crowd -- I was anticipating 13 children, but only 9 showed -- the easy crafts usually become as complicated as the more intricate/messy ones!
