My lovely co-teacher 'C' created a bunch of really fun animal themed group time cards awhile back. I just need to share them...because they are awesome and also encompass several characteristics universally loved by toddlers. Animals, texture, something to rip apart and also hidden surprises! What could be better?
We mainly use them for large group discussions and inquiry but I think it would certainly be fun to create some of your own! Put them in a basket in your play space at home and let the cognitive exploration begin:
You can find some of these prints at craft stores in the felt area...also others in the fabric zone. Note that each fabric piece is secured to the laminated photo with a strip of sticky Velcro- so they can tear off the fabric to reveal the animal hidden underneath (if they so desire...which you know they will).
Yes!! Thanks Dharma
