Sound and Picture Book
Children plan a three-page story with picture cards, draw or snap a picture for each page, record a sound for each one, and put the pages in order; playing it back shows how pictures and sounds work together.

Line Safari
Lines draw themselves across the savanna (zigzag mountains, a wavy river, a spiral snail) and the class names each one. Then hunt for shapes, mix primary colors for a chameleon, and draw with zigzag and wavy brushes.
Art Passport
Travel the world through 14 real works of art, from a giant wave in Japan to a blue hippo from Egypt. Look closer, say what you see and feel, and collect a passport stamp for every visit.
Beat Buddies
A bear, a bunny and a snail march to the steady beat while the class pats along and freezes when the music stops. Then build rhythms from animal cards and clap them back.
