For our polar animals week we waddled around the room like penguins, flew around the room like snow owls and crawled around the room like polar bears.
I took a wipes container and turned it into a polar bear and we took turns feeding the polar bear fish. The older kids organized the fish by size and categorized them by shape and color.
I made sensory table with cotton balls and put penguins and fish made from cardstock with the cotton. The older children matched the number on the penguins belly to the dots on the fish. The younger children just sifted through.
I put white paint into a ziplock bag and let the children practice tracing their letters in the snow.
We talked about camouflage. I took a picture of a polar bear, penguin and snow owl and placed it against a white, black and blue construction paper to show the children how the animals use their camouflage to hide from other animals.
For our art projects we stretched out cotton balls and glued them on our polar bear and talked about how polar bears have fur. We also took various polar animal cutouts and taped it on our white paper and then painted the whole paper blue then removed our cutout to reveal our animal silhouette.
