From October 1-31, our craft will be Bats & Owls headbands!
How it works:
- Choose one of the animal sheets and long paper strips
- Color your animal and write on your fact sheet
- Cut out each piece and your fact sheet and glue onto the long strip of paper
- Staple the long strip to the size of your head to wear
There will be laminated sheets of information on bats and owls on the table as a reference for patrons. They are to stay on the table and be read in house, at the table.
Early Literacy Tip:
By seeing their spoken thoughts turned into written words, children learn that spoken language can be represented in print. They begin to understand left-to-right progression and word spacing as well. This helps them master the essential early literacy skill of print awareness.
