Instructions

p r E pA r At i o n
* Fold the construction paper in half sideways to make book pages.
* Stick one page inside the other.
* Staple pages together along the fold to form a book. (Let children who are
able help with any part of the preparation.)
What to Do
1. Ask the children to draw four of their favorite animals.
2. Cut out the animals and glue them on blank pages.
3. The children can write or dictate the names of the animals.
4. Make a title on the front page, personalizing it for each child. For example,
"Anna's Animal Book." Keep these books in the library area.
Teacher - to - Teacher Tip s
* A fun variation of this activity is to let children create their own animals, such
as a "kangarooster" or "bearurtle."
* Consider changing the titles of the books to things like "Anna's Book of Silly
Animals."
Assessment
Consider the following:
* Have the children learned fun facts about their animals?
* Do you notice an improvement in the children's small motor skills?
* Do the children feel a sense of accomplishment by creating their own books?
