A pets week for twos to fours: what a pet needs (food, water, a bed, kindness), gentle hands, and a pretend vet corner.
Our letter is P: P is for pet.
Our song is “Three Little Kittens”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.

Three Little Kittens
Three little kittens, they lost their mittens, And they began to cry, "Oh, Mother dear, we sadly fear Our mittens we have lost." "What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie." "Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow." "No, you shall have no pie."
Eliza Follen, 1843; public domain.
