Craft: Streamer wand (a paper towel tube, crepe paper strips, tape, crayons), with a grown-up. Snack: Fruit Kabobs, recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/fruit-kabobs. Outside: Hold up the streamer wands and look where they point. Walk that way, then turn and walk into the wind.
This week: wind and kites
A windy week for twos to fours: what the wind can push, how a kite flies on a string, and a race with paper streamers.
Our letter is K: K is for kite.
Our song is “Rock-a-Bye Baby”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: Fay and the Kite, Mia and the Kite, The Stuck Kite, The North Wind and the Sun, The Hat Cat. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
Rock-a-Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye, baby, on the treetop, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock; When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all.
