Instructions

1. Make a "Whose Feet?" wheel to keep children busy during transition and
waiting times.
2. Make an 8 1/2 " x 5" shape from paper, and cut a 1" x 1" area from the middle of
each 5" side. Make two 5" diameter circle "wheels" from paper.
3. Attach animal pictures around one wheel, and the foot pictures on the other.
Use the brads to attach the wheels to the back of the main piece of paper, so
that a picture is visible in the cutout area on each side. The children can spin
the wheels, look at the animals and feet that they see in the 1" x 1" cutout on
each side, and match the animals to their feet.
