I was cleaning off my desk when I found two partial sheets of stickers. One was creepy-crawlies (snakes, snails, millipedes, etc.) and the other monsters. Some of the stickers were damaged, so I cut off the bad ones and stuck the good ones into envelopes. Then I created two tree posters and turned the whole thing into a project for the kids. I left it on the table for them. It looked like this:
Marshall didn’t even ask for a snack when he got home from school, because he wanted to get started on the project right away. I enjoyed watching them work on it. I especially enjoyed the song that Marshall improvised as he arranged his stickers on the tree. Here’s how some of it went.
It went up the tree. Tree, tree, tree. A bee with another bee.
It went buzz, buzz, buzz, running down.
Snail up the tree. Snail up the tree. Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.
There’s a little worm diggy-diggy down.
Buggin’ up the tree. Buggin’ up the tree.
And here is the finished project. Marshall’s creepy-crawly tree is on the left and Livia’s monster tree on the right. The blue dots are rain.
