Buttons

• Glue B page ... draw a large letter B, trace with glue, and glue on buttons
• Sort buttons in a muffin tin
• String buttons & beads on pipe cleaners

• Read “Corduroy” by Don Freeman … about a little bear who realizes his button is missing and spends the night searching for it.
• Button, Button, Where’s the Button?
  1. After you read, hide a large button (or 2 or 3) & find it just like Corduroy.
• Which Button is Missing?
  1. Use about 10 very different buttons.
  2. Lay them out on a tray.
  3. Let the kids look at them for a minute.
  4. Have them close their eyes and remove one of the buttons.
  5. Open their eyes and see if they can remember which button is missing.
• Wear pants & shirts with buttons on them ... count everyone's buttons
• Do button or bead pattern cards
  1. On an index card draw the start of a pattern (blue button, red button, blue button)
  2. Punch a hole on the edge of the card & attach a string so the kids can continue the pattern by stringing on buttons or beads.
