So, one of the little boys we have had in our class LOVES to make "pets." Every time we make an animal of any kind he calls it his pet and talks all about how he's going to take it home and play with it. He had a blast with this cutie...
We used a paper bowl and painted it green ahead of time, because our main goal for this one was the fine motor skills it was going to take to glue the dried peas onto Tiny Tim's back. But you could just as easily let the kids color or paint it themselves if you wanted to do it differently.
The rest of the activity is self explanatory...cut some green legs and a head out of construction paper, rectangle shaped with rounded corners. Glue on googly eyes and dried peas.
One of the kids favorite songs to sing is Tiny Tim...
"I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water...
He ate up all the soap...
He tried to eat the bathtub...
But it wouldn't go down his throat!!"
(This next part is their FAVORITE!!!)
{hand actions: cup your hands into a small ball or bubble and move your hands outward with each "bubble"}
"Bubble, bubble, bubble...
Bubble, bubble, bubble...
Bubble, bubble, bubble...
Bubble, bubble....POP!!"
They all break into fits of laughter...they love it!!
CLICK this link for a YouTube video of a little girl singing it...I don't know her (LOL) but it will give you an idea of the tune!!
