Ten Summer Activities You Can Do Together: All About ANIMALS

Bring the fun and silliness of animals into your day!  Select a book about animals from the library and read the story with your child.  Then, help reinforce the sounds, actions and names of the animals by trying one or all of these animal activities.  You can do these at the library, at home, at the park, at the pool, or wherever you find time together!

1. Visit a farm or petting zoo
2. Sing  a song such as "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" or "Farmer In The Dell"  (From our friends at King County Library System)
3. Count the legs on a cow
4. Make a list of animals you would see in a zoo
5. Count the geese at a pond
6. Make a parade of your toys/stuffed animals
7. What animals like bananas?
8. Make a lion mask
9. Walk like a penguin or gallop like a horse
10. Add an animal to the story you read and talk about:  What would they do? What sounds would they make?  What would they look like?
