Monkeys On Bed and In Tree

I made these Monkeys Jumping On The Puppets for Izzie a few weeks ago; however, she did not enjoying playing with them. So, I decided to recycle them. I got my inspiration from here.

Izzie is having more fun playing with the monkeys this way. She loves being able to attach and detach the monkeys. She is enjoying counting the monkeys on the bed and attaching the correct number. In addition, we're using this rhyme to work on her speech; she is filling in the blank for bed, head, doctor, no-no, and numbers 1-5.

The monkeys and numbers are attached by using Velcro.

Izzie was having so much fun with Monkeys On The Bed that I decided to make another one for Monkeys In A Tree. We are using the same monkeys and numbers. I got the tree and crocodile clipart from here.

Again, this is great to help her speech. She is filling in the blanks for tree, me, snap, no, and numbers 1-5.

Monkeys Jumping On Bed--Day 3

More monkey activities...

I thought Izzie would really like the Puppets, but she really wasn't interested in playing with them. I found the templates here.

We are working on numbers 0-5. Izzie enjoyed counting the monkeys and placing the monkey clothespin on the correct number. I found the counting cards here.

Monkeys Jumping On Bed--Day 2

I found these Monkey color cards here. I laminated them, so Izzie could practice matching her color clothespins to the correct color monkey. She is doing a lot better manipulating the clothespins.

Did you notice the outfit that Izzie is wearing? She loves picking out her own clothes!

We made chocolate covered bananas. I wasn't sure if Izzie would like them. She really likes bananas, but hasn't eaten a lot of chocolate. She had two little bites and then was "all done".

My little monkey!

Monkeys Jumping On Bed--Day 1

One of Izzie's favorite books is "Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed". This week we will focus on the letter M and do activities related to the book.

After reading the book, "Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed", Izzie colored this handout.

I cut out the letter "M" from construction paper. We added ears, eyes, and a tail. Izzie completed the letter by adding banana clip art.

We spent some time outside... "Monkeying" around!
