Talk to your kids about ...
- Families can talk about colors. Let kids name the color on each page, and point out other colors you see -- the green eyes on the cat, for example, or the yellow duck's pink feet.
- Ask your kid to identify realistic animals (such as the white dog) and more fanciful ones (the blue horse). Encourage kids to make their own animal art, using whatever colors they wish.
Get out the crayons and drawing paper and help your kid create in a book patterned on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, but featuring animals your kid wants to include.
