Make your own plastic purple purse!
Materials needed:
- Small plastic sandwich bag. (Not the sealed kind, you need the flap kind)
- Construction Paper
- Tape
- Markers
- Glue
- Scissors
Instructions: Read Kevin Henkes' Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse to your child. Then have the child trace around a sandwich bag on the purple construction paper. Cut out slightly smaller so that you can fit it into the bag, do twice. Measure the flap of the bag and cut out a purple piece that will fit, add a white button out of construction paper. Cut out a handle shape and tape to back. I added clear tape over the top of my handle to give it a little more weight.
Fill the purse with things from the story! You could place small objects in the purse or have your child draw items from the story, have them cut it out and put it in. (Pointy pencils, snacks, sunglasses, shiny quarters, etc.) You could even have them draw a note to Mr. Slinger.
I originally thought of this activity as a prediction activity. I made the following objects and put them into the purse. The idea was to show the students what was in the purse and have them predict what may happen in the story.
