When we first read The Best Pet Ever by Victoria Roberts I just knew a stART project was in the making. This is a story about a little girl who wants a pet so bad. She begs her mom all the time for a pet, then goes around to be creative to make her own pets from a rock to a balloon.
We used a plastic juice bottle and construction paper. I had covered the bottle with black construction paper and cut out a head including ears. I made a hole to slip it around the head of the bottle. I asked Selena what she thought her pet looked like and she decided a pig, so she finished her pet off with the eyes.

What a cute "pet"!
ReplyDeleteI positively see the pig here. Looks like Selena is enjoying her new companion :)
ReplyDeleteSelena's pig is SO cute and I love that she named him Wilbur.

I LOVE Selena's recycled pig, and I think Wilbur is the perfect name:-). I always enjoyed Charlotte's Web, even if it was a bit sad at the end.
