Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh This story is about 3 mice who get into mischief with paints. As you read the story stop and ask your child to make some predictions about what they think will happen? For example: When the mouse covered in red paint mixes its red feet in a yellow puddle - "What do you think will happen to the yellow puddle?" When the yellow mouse steps into the blue puddle Ask your child - "What do you think will happen to the blue puddle?" When the blue mouse jumps into the red puddle Ask your child - "What do you think will happen to the red puddle?" When the mice paint the paper towels, ask your child, "How did they get green? orange? purple?" |
