(Read Happy Baby a touch and feel book and let the children feel the textures while we talk about the colors and pass around plastic animals so the children can see the characterists of each animal up close. After we read our story our art project will be to pour glue all over a cardboard duck then paste yellow feathers all over the duck. I want the children to feel the texture of the feathers, we will talk about the color to get them talking and thinking and they will help me use the glue and put the feathers on for fine motor development. Then we will compare the duck in the book to the duck we made.
we will also send a note home letting the parents know what we did and the goal of the project then sugest they take their children to the pond to feed the ducks and talk about their differences.
