We can write and draw a story entitled “If You Give a Mouse ——”. It will be fun for our child to share the story with family members and with his classmates.
About the sense of capability as children mimic the movements of various animals. We can talk to our child about tasks they can now accomplish that they couldn’t before. We can also boost their sense of capability by saying, “Yes, you can!”
About play: The book is interactive and encourages movement and play. We can talk with our child about the games they enjoy and introduce them to games we used to enjoy in our childhood.
Together, we can look at the drawing of the car on page 21. Are there other parts that we could add to the child’s car? What items can we use from home?
