The book has a pink flamingo, yellow lion, red ant, blue butterfly, and green crocodile. To match the animal colors, I made a pink heart, yellow star, red circle, blue square, and green rectangle and attached the shapes to craft sticks.
As I read each page Lauren matches the color. Then she names the color and the shape on her stick.
After we finish reading the book, Lauren holds up a stick and we sing about the shape:
For the star:
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
For the heart:
Love somebody, yes I do.
Love somebody, now guess who.
Love somebody, have you guessed
that your the one that I love best!
For the circle:
A circle is like a pizza.
A circle is like a pizza.
Round and round
it never stops.
A circle is like a pizza.
For the square:
A square is like a box.
A square is like a box.
Four sides and four angles all the same
A square is like a box.
For the rectangle:
A rectangle has four sides.
A rectangle has four sides.
Two are short and two are long,
A rectangle has four sides.
