This is a really fun craft to use with the new Dr. Seuss book, What Pet Should I Get?
What is included:
- 4 pets (cat, dog, turtle ... and my favorite ... the bird)
- a simple writing activity has been prepared which can be placed on the back of each pet (grade 1 or 2 or 3) JK and K can just make the paper bag puppets and not do the writing activities.
Have created these so that either the eyes, a bone, a chin or a beak will hang over the base of the bag.
What you need:
- paper, scissors, glue
- brown paper bags (I bought mine at a dollar store. They come 40 in a bag.)
Size listed on bag: 5 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 10 5/8 inches or
13 x 7.9 x 27 cm
If your bag is a different size then just adjust your photocopying.

What Pet Should I Get? Mini Foldable Books
Books can be used with the new Dr. Seuss book.
Contains 24 Mini Foldable books!
- 3 different books for each of 8 pets
- pets are: dog, cat, fish, bird, hamster, rabbit, turtle and snake
- the 3 books for each pet are set up as follows: easy reading (emphasizing is, has and can), a rhyming book and a more challenging book with factual information about the pet
Each mini foldable book consists of just one sheet of paper. These books are easy for students to put together - just fold in half twice and trim the edges, if they desire! Each book has a title page, 2 reading pages and the last page is a spot for students to draw a picture. Use the books in literacy centres, read-alongs, or send them home for additional practice.
Makes a great addition to my:
What Pet Should I Get? Unit
What Pet Should I Get? Craftivity
What Pet Should I Get? Paper Bag Puppets
What Pet Should I Get? Cats and Dogs Craftivity
Should be something there for everyone!
POP-UP Remembrance Day Craftivity for Canadians
This is a great craft for students to complete for Remembrance Day in Canada - some of the templates mention Canada, Flanders Fields, etc.
This craft has two main components:
- A base (made out of one piece of paper, 8 1/2 x 14) There are 2 base templates to choose from.
- POP-UPs - 9 options to choose from, including male and female representation, graphics for Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force. On the back of each POP-UP is a simple writing activity.
(Note: some of the graphics may not exactly represent Canadian uniforms so take a good look at the preview copy to make sure you are ok with the uniforms!)
Includes step-by-step instructions, graphics and templates needed to create this POP-UP Remembrance Day craftivity..
Requires: Paper (I used regular photocopy paper but light cardstock is recommended), glue, coloring pencils and scissors.
The POP-UP Craft folds flat for students to easily transport home or expands so that it can be displayed in the classroom.
Always make sure you download and save the project before printing! Sometimes customers just right click on the preview of a download and things don't print properly! Print on 8 1/2 x 14" paper.
Note: A slightly different version of this craft is listed under Memorial Day and Veterans Day ... so don't buy those as they are quite similar to this version ... but they do not have the Canadian references.
Get to know your students very quickly with this fun Back to School House & simple writing activity.
There are two versions of this craft - a 5" and a 7".
Included is a template that the students will color, cut and then glue together! It's a great Back to School keepsake. Or, have your students make the School Houses and use them to decorate the classroom. Best of all, it is large enough to hold their writing activity when it is complete.
Made from regular photocopy paper (8 1/2 x 14), all students require are coloring pencils, scissors and glue (glue sticks recommended).
Enjoy and have a great year!
