We are studying rabbits right now. I made up a game for us to play during our circle time--needed something that could include an 18 month and 4 year old. I cut some of Q's watercolors (I save them for projects) into rabbit shapes using a cookie cutter. Then I wrote different things rabbits do on them. When we play the game, we put on our rabbit ears (headbands with ears that we have). We take turns drawing a rabbit, then we do what the rabbit card says. We have fun acting out the different actions. For example, for "Eat" we "hop" all around the living room to different parts of the garden and pretend to eat beans, carrots, cabbage, parsley, etc. The kids' favorite is "dig." Both kids love this game and get very into playing it! They learn some great vocabulary words, exercise their large and small muscles and use some pretend play!
