Read: Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons and Pete the Cat and His White Sneakers by Paul Dean

Puppet: Pete the Cat
Super-cute early literacy and counting idea here at The Seeds Network
WHILE YOU READ:Before you read, have children put 4 circle/dot stickers on their OWN shirt (you can put 4 dots on each circle with a marker to make it look more like a button, if you wish). I also put 4 sticker buttons on my shirt as well. As you read the story and Pete looses a button, have the children take one of their sticker buttons off their shirt and put it onto their yellow paper shirt. Have them count how many buttons they have left on their own shirt – to go along with how many buttons Pete has left on his shirt.
Continue until all the buttons are off their shirts and onto their paper shirt. They can then bring their paper shirt home to be able to re-tell the story. Or they can use their paper shirt in the art center, draw a picture of Pete and glue the coat on.
