Nocturnal Animals

 Welcome

Another fun and learning week with my little ones.

This past week, we learned about nocturnal animals.  Simple facts for very young ones but a lot of them now know what animals are awake hunting at night.

So here's what we did last week.

Racoon Puppets

I found this cute printout so we glued our puppets together and coloured them.  

(one of my littles thought her raccoon should be wearing a dress)

Fox

A 3-D printout of a fox that we coloured and glued together.

Sleeping Fox

Another simple printout to colour and put together.

Stinky Skunk

These were simple skunks we made into puppets.

Bats

The kids really liked this one.

We made a bat cave from an old tissue box.  We glued and coloured our bats and talked about how they fold up their wings to sleep.  

They loved playing with them, folding up the wings and putting them into the box.

Owl

A simple owl to colour.

We all hooted like owls which made us all giggle.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Nocturnal Animals

 Hello and Welcome.

This week we had such fun learning about animals that are Nocturnal.

My kids already knew what some of them were, but it was fun to learn more about them.  I think their favourite was watching the video of the bat cave that I found on YouTube.

Anyways, here was we did this week.

Bat Cave

Here is the bat cave we created.  We decorated a box then added the bats inside.

Since we are also working on number recognition, we added some numbers on the front of our bats.

It was fun to learn how the bats fold their wings over them to keep warm.

Feed the Raccoon

A big hit with my kiddos.

I printed off a picture of a raccoon and cut out the mouth.  We attached that to a box on the back.

We decorated the fish and they could feed them to the raccoon.

Below is a picture of how I attached the photo to the box.

Fox

We made this adorable little fox puppet.  

We glued a popsicle stick to the bottom so he could walk.

Stinky Skunk

A simple skunk.  They did some joining up the dots at the bottom.

'PU' was our word of the day.

Hedgehog

Here is a cute printable I found.

The kids coloured it then practiced their cutting skills.
