An adorable story tells us just how hard it can be to say good-bye. This books' rhymes helps to demonstrate phonological awareness and knowing letters and sounds.


Dino Duckling by Alison Murray

What a wonderful story about being different and accepted. When a problem arises, Dino's family comes up with a plan. This book helps with narrative skills and telling how stories work.

For this cute dinosaur puppet craft you'll need:

  • 2 white circles (about 1 inch)

  • any size smaller black circles for inner part of the eyes

Cut the egg shape in half and glue the one half to the flap and the other half to the bag itself. Glue the white teeth to the top flap, and the eye pieces together. Now glue or punch out the nostrils and have fun with your paper puppet!
