Reading and Rhyming with Colors and Critters

I am craaaazy about these color puppets and so are my firsties!  Not kidding...each day they come in asking what puppet they will do.  Each puppet has a poem to learn!  Great practice for reading and rhyming!  I use them at the beginning of the year in first but they would be awesome for the end of year kinders.  Each puppet is on a brightly colored straw to make it easy to handle (you can use craft sticks to be cheaper). Did you notice the monkey is upside down?  Intriguing isn't it:-)
