Cowboy Fun {Part 1}

Earlier this year, Little One was into cowboys, so I created some fun activities around the theme. Here are some of the things we got up to. 

Cowboy paper doll via MakingFriends.com.

 

Cowboy memory match game via Homeschool Creations.

A sequencing game. Spot the sequence and then continue it. 

A memory game. Show the items for 15/20 seconds, then cover. What can he remember?

Another fun idea with these little plastic toys is to hide duplicates around the room and send the kiddos to find them. This is a fun way to teach new words like wigwam/cactus/camp fire etc. 

And we made a WANTED poster-  although little one doesn't like being a baddie :)

Books we read:

Cowboy Small - Lois Lenski

The Big Golden Book of the Wild West - Gene Biggs

The Lone Ranger (Little Golden Book) - Steffi Fletcher 

B is for Buckaroo: A Cowboy Alphabet - Louise Doak Whitney

(This last one we haven't read ourselves, but it comes highly recommended.)

Part 2, coming soon.
