Corduroy happens to be one of my all time favorite children’s books. Since I have 6 children, it has been read so many times through the year. Thanks for these great printables to compliment the story.
If you need some other ideas for those buttons when you are done check out 3 Fine Motor Activities with Buttons at http://yourtherapysource.com/videobutton.html or make some music with Button Gloves at http://yourtherapysource.com/freebuttongloves.html
These are great ideas!!! I don’t have nearly that many fun buttons so I guess I have to go hunting. Did you get your buttons in the same place or in a kit? They look great!!!!
I got them at Michael’s. The big, bright buttons I bought separate, but all of the other ones I just bought a big bag of assorted buttons.
So many great ideas for a cute book! I haven’t read this book to my son yet, but I just might this week! Thanks for linking up at the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop! We hope you stop by again next week!
I am teaching K-4 this year, and next week we are doing our B unit! Thank you so much for so many wonderful ideas that I can share with my amazing K-4 kids!
