Little A was assigned a project to complete over winter break. The went back to school on Thurs 1/3, so of course, on Weds afternoon, I sat down to help him out… He drew in the eyes and had to approve my every move!! For the project, Little A had to read a book, choose a character from the book, and make a paper bag book buddy. His favorite book series is the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. These books CRACK ME UP!!! He picked I Broke My Trunk!, but couldn’t decide whether he wanted to make Gerald (the elephant), or Piggie… so I told him we could make both. Piggie is the “official” project but Gerald’s going to school to get turned in with him. After all, best friends have to stick together!!
I took this pile of supplies…
…and made Little A his puppets. He was very happy except for the fact that I didn’t put legs on them. Sorry Little A, mommy was OVER it.
I tried to copy them straight out of the book… so side-by-side with my inspiration, I introduce Gerald (and photo-bomb-loving Big A)…
and Piggie…
I’m spent!! Until next time…
