We can develop our child’s imagination by creating an alternate ending for the story or continuing it ourselves. We can ask the child: What do you think happened to the anteater? Did he like the taste of bananas? Does he really eat bananas? Where did the ants disappear to? What do you think happened next?

We can hold a family joke party. Each family member is invited to share their favourite joke, appropriate for the child’s age.

We can search for information about the types of animals mentioned in the story. Where does each animal live? What does it really eat? What is its preferred environment?

We can encourage our child to create a painting using different colour combinations.We can use crayons and watercolours to colour on paper.

We can inspire our child to write their first humorous book or their unique version of “What Does the Anteater Eat?” Children can introduce new animals and craft a new creative ending to the story.

Ants walk along the bottom of most pages of the book, while the anteater walks through the forest landscapes searching for breakfast under his feet. We can follow the drawings, search for the ants, and remember to laugh along the way!
