Toddler Ideas Tuesday: February 24, 2015

Welcome back to Toddler Idea Tuesdays! I hope you will join with me again in sharing the fun activities, crafts, and lessons that you are doing with your young children.

The children and I have been looking at some poetry with our Poppins Book Nook theme this month. I posted my Animal Poetry Fun post yesterday, and I wanted to share what we did as a continuation of those lessons. Though I really spent time with Tabitha and Amelia doing the poetry, Hannah joined in to make Rhyming Books yesterday.

I like to use Google to find coloring sheet pictures of images I would like to use. Then I shrink them down to about 2 inch wide images so I can fit a lot on the page. So, I found pictures of 6 different animals, then I found a picture of a rhyming object for each animal. I cut construction paper into quarters to make pages for the books.

Then I had them glue on the animals, one per page, before I allowed them to see the rhyming pictures. They had to decide which pictures to add to each page.

The decorated their covers and chose a title, then I stapled the pages together.

Though all three girls made books, I will only be sharing Hannah's book as this is the Toddler Idea post. The older girls wrote their own words next to each picture, but I wrote them for Hannah.

Now onto:
