Story time: Dear Zoo


Hello! 

Today I bring you Rod Campbell’s beautiful book Dear Zoo, published by MacMillan Children’s Books.
We’ve been reading this little book to our 3 years old children at the beginning of the course and they really loved it.
It is a nice story to review at home with a lift the flap version or to listen to it online.



After enjoying the book you can invent your own games at home, like doing like the story animals do or you can also visit the Dear zoo and friends website, where you will find nice games and other resources like free printables.

Have a nice day!

Classifying and ordering are good skills, related to our Kindergarten stage, to practise with your children at home. For older kids, you can also give them codified patterns to reproduce, o...

MATERIALS: 1 or 2 lemons. Baking soda. Food coloring (optional). A little stick. PROCEDURE: First we have to cut the lemon's top and bottom, so you can place the lemon standing and they don't fall. Carve a little bit of the pulp, to make some room for the baking soda. Add some food colouring, in the hole you 've made before, if you want to make the eruption more expectacular. Pour a couple of tea spoons of baking soda inside too. With a wooden stick, let your child to prick the lemon to let the juice out and mix with the baking soda and enjoy the expectacle. If you are up for a more visual explanation, Maria O. explains how to do this great experiment in this video. After the experiment we encourage your children to make a picture of the part of the experiment they've enjoyed th...
