Everyone loves underpants! Aliens, dinosaurs, bears, and especially pirates. This past week, I thought we would do a unit on underpants. We would read even possible book from own own personal library as well as the public library on underpants. Kaleb had a blast, it was definitely up his alley....burping, farting, underpants....haha.
For every book that we read about underpants, I had Kaleb color or decorate a pair to go along with the book. These pants will be made into an underwear banner.
We talked about nouns using this free printable that I found from Crazy Kids Learning (link below). I drew a simple alien shape and we sorted the nouns and glued them to our alien.
He turned out pretty cute! We hung it up on our school room closet door.
Kaleb then painted some mini aliens to put in his spaceship. These aliens came from Somewhat Simple (link below).
He made a spaceship from a paper plate - an idea that came from Danielle's Place (link below). Each of my kids made one of these - we have a whole fleet of spaceships flying around our schoolroom filled with aliens in their underwear! They saved the earth, you know?
Kaleb also colored a dinosaur with interchangeable underwear. He thought this was super funny! Different pairs of underwear for the dinosaur. I am thinking about making this magnetic for my younger tot, Riley. He would like it, for sure.
Who doesn't like underpants? We had a ton of fun reading all of the underwear books and making our underwear banner. It was a silly unit for Kaleb. We are moving on to a chapter book for a new challenge next week. See you soon.
