So it was worksheet first, then onto a craft. I knew we didn't have much time today, so I found a quick elephant deal on the "first-school" website, which is pretty much the source for any and all preschool stuff. I'm not always a huge fan of the style of ideas found there, but sometimes it's just what I need in a pinch.
The elephants look like this when you're done:
The little head part is glued onto a CD you don't mind donating to the project. The website gives you all the stuff to print out, then you just cut and assemble. Thankfully, we managed to get some shape recognition and a little bit of size differentiation in there. And of course, you do get some practice with the ol' glue stick. We attached our elephant to a craft stick and used him like a puppet for awhile. But the kiddo got pretty sick of it, real fast.
SO, we read a book. It was a crappy book. Don't get it or read it. It's called The Elephant Wish. I'll even picture it for you so no one wastes their time on it's worthlessness.
I tell you what, sometimes I cannot believe what they publish in children's literature. Some of it is completely...a waste of time. My son, an avid story lover, lost interest in the book after the FIRST page. That's saying something. So, yeah, don't bother with it.
