You know how Ilove to recycle! Well, here’s anenvelope puppet that Martha RoHer shared that you can make from junk mail. Slit the top edge and take out thejunk. Bend the top corners down asshown. Open and squeeze.

Helives in a shell.
Helikes his home
Verywell.

*Second Time: Here is a turtle. SHE lives in HER shell…
Third time: Here are two turtles. THEY live in THEIR shells…
Humpty DumptyPuzzle
After learning “HumptyDumpty” Amy Fielbrandt gives the children paper ovals. She lets them cutthe ovals into 4 or 5 pieces and then asks them to "put him back togetheragain" by gluing the pieces on another sheet of paper. These aredisplayed on a bulletin board with this rhyme:
Humpty Dumptysat on a wall.
Humpty Dumptyhad a great fall.
All the king’shorses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t putHumpty together again.
But thekindergarteners got out some glue
And put himtogether as good as new!
