Title: Alphabet Art : With A-Z Animal Art & Fingerplays
Review: I have successfully used this book with older three's and four's in my pre-k classes over the years. With younger children, the projects are too complicated and I found they just don't work well. However, with the older pre school set, this book can be a fantastic resource. I used the projects and fingerplays in conjunction with "Letter of the Week" activities and it worked well. The children learned and retained the letters and the fingerplays and really enjoyed them. I was concerned that the "process" of experiencing and creating not become lost in making something vaguely "recognizable" for the enjoyment of their parents, etc. I make an example and they can do their own interpretation and that way children are respected and I also get some extremely charming projects to show off on the bulletin board. Win-Win situation. :))
