Thoughts for Lessons:
SCISSOR SKILLS:
 | This craft has lots of nice large circles to cut out -- good scissor
practice! |
| You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make
it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles. |
SHAPES:
| have the children make a pile of all the circles and a separate pile
of all the squares. |
COLORS:
| verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using
the colors of the shapes. (ie: Take the black circle and glue it
on the white circle.). |
SIZES:
| show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller
or the same size as that one. |
COUNTING:
| Count the circles, count the squares |
|
| Glue the two largest
brown circles, slightly overlapping, on top of each other (sort of like a figure 8). |
|
|
| Glue the small, light
brown circles (ear centers) onto the small, dark brown circles. Glue the ears onto
the top of the head.
|
| Glue the two square
teeth just towards the bottom of the bottom circle. |
|
|
| Glue the two next
largest brown circles, on top of the first two to make a muzzle. (This time, sort of
like a tipped over figure 8). |
|
|
| Glue the two eyes and
the small black circle (nose) onto the head. |

PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
