 activity #1
“UdderFly ” Puppet
H Download* the “Udderfly” template and print it
out on regular-weight paper.
H Help the kids color and cut out
the “Udderfly.”
H Demonstrate how to line up a
drinking straw down the middle
back of the “Udderfly” and
tape the straw in place so the end
hangs from the bottom for a handle.
H Now fly! The paper will flutter when you
move the puppet back and forth through the air.

activity #2

H Download* the Perfect Piggies! pig-and-balloon pattern sheets
and print them out in color on card stock (or another heavier-

H Cut string into 3-inch pieces.
H Help kids cut out the patterns and personalize their pigs and
balloons by writing their names or initials where indicated.
H Using a hole punch, make holes in the small circle at the bottom of
the balloon, as well as the two circles on the pig’s body.
H Connect the balloon to the pig with string.
H Dab some craft glue onto two magnets; stick one on the back of the
balloon, and one on the back of the pig. Voilà—instant fridge art!
H Coloring sheets are also available as downloads.* All you need are
crayons, magic markers, or colored pencils.

activity #3 HOEDOWN
H Download* the sheet music for the “Barnyard Dance”song. (The
CD is available in the book and CD Rhinoceros Tap—or make
up your own tune!)
H Gather the children into a circle for a Barnyard Dance
and hand out any music-makers (drums, shakers,
recorders, spoons—get creative with home-style
instruments!). You might teach the kids a few
animal-themed actions (waggle hands for
sheep ears, horse tails, rooster
crowns, and chicken
wings) and/or encourage
animal noises when
prompted! The dance
itself is easy as long as
the dancers listen to the
“caller’s” directions.

activity #4

call sheet.
H Cut up the call sheet and put the squares Free

child should receive a different card).
H Assign a “caller” to pull out one call
square, describe the image, and show it to the 1

children. Use cut-up pieces of paper as bingo markers;

kids should place a marker on the called image if it is on
their card.
H Explain to the kids that when a row is covered in any
direction on their card, the child calls out “BINGO!”
