Ages: 3 - 6 years
Discuss
- Have the child guess the color as you read through the book.
- See if they can count the dots.
- On each page there is something pictured that represents the new color added to the snake. Ask the child to identify that item. For example: When the snake gets black spots, pictured on the same page is a black crab.
- As the snake grows, it adds more colors to its skin. See if the child can name a couple ways in which he has changed as he has grown.
- Was the snake happy with the end result? Ask what the child likes most about the person that they have grown into?
- Draw or print and cut out some snake outlines (enough for each color in the book + one more for the 'blended' snake). As you reread the story, have the child use a pencil eraser and some ink to dot the correct spots on the snake. Glue the snakes in order on a separate sheet of paper.
- Do some color matching worksheets. You could easily make your own dotted snake color matching worksheets.
