In our previous blog article we listed a few links to craft projects featuring elephants that we found around the web. We also had a free download of an elephant paper bag puppet pattern.
We are continuing the elephant theme with a list of books that we thought would be interesting and fun to pair with an elephant puppet. We’ve noticed that kids become more engaged during reading when a puppet is used to help bring a book alive.
Our pattern of the month is the Elephant! It is true that an elephant has a good memory. They can remember something for 50-60 years! They also can remember where the herd found food and water in the past. They are doing better than me, some days I can’t find my car keys!

Our pattern of the month is the Cow! Actually all “cows” are female, males are bulls. And females can have horns, not just males. Researchers have found that if you name a cow and treat her as an individual, she will produce almost 500 more pints of milk a year. Cows have favorite friends and become stressed when they are separated.

And some harried parents probably feel their kids are more monkey than human at times.
