For the letter P we made a Peacock out of a paper plate.
We first practiced making straight lines with the markers to make the feathers.
Hailey started to trace her hand to make the peacock more unique.
Then we used green paint on our thumbs and yellow paint on our pinkies to make the "eyes" of the peacock.
We finished by coloring the peacock's body, hair, and beak with markers.
We read "Hen Lake" by Mary Hane Auch together. It was a little too advance and long for Hailey but I like the pictures and the message. It's about a hen who wants to be a ballerina and a the new peacock the farmer just got was making fun of her and kept telling her that he can do everything better. It has a great lesson for kids (and adults) to learn.
