Friday Book Projects-These Trees Have "Sole"

Today's book project is actually a repost of one we did a few months ago. I hope you enjoy it! If you would like to share one of your own book projects, sign Mr. Linky at the end of this post:)




When I worked in daycare/ preschool, a favorite book with all the children was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This is a very cute coconut tree to make after reading the book. Have fun!



First, I painted the trunk of the tree.



Next, the fun begins when you start painting little toes. Warning: giggling will occur, this is normal:)



Stamp your child's foot on the paper to create the top of the tree.



After you clean off your child's foot, make a few coconuts with their thumbprint.



Last, glue on a few letters and you have a "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" coconut tree.



Here is the book that inspired me. Check it out!

  3. My oldest daughter loved this book. She also used to love to play the computer game.

    Cute project, though I can see the kids moving around to much with the giggling and such:)

  6. Ooops sorry put an extra Blick on there! What an amazing project. You are so creative. I like to go to the museum for inspiration these days. I'm always amazed at what I can learn from my little ones.
