Craft: Shadow puppets (dark card animal shapes (grown-up cuts), craft sticks, tape, a flashlight), with a grown-up. Snack: Frozen Banana Pops (swap: Yogurt → oat yogurt), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/banana-pops. Outside: On a sunny day: try to step on a friend's shadow. Where does your shadow go in the shade?
This week: shadows and light
A light week for twos to fours: shadows outside and with a flashlight, day and night, and light we see by.
Our letter is L: L is for light.
Our song is “Hey Diddle Diddle”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: I See a Boy, Where Is the Cat?, The Little Lantern, The Sun Is a Star. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.
