Puppy Bulletin Board Summary
I choose puppies because it’s my favorite pet. The activity I picked out was based on the
children being able to draw out the face and a favorite toy of their puppy. This is one way for
children to use their creativity as well as being able to draw out how they perceive their
puppies face. Whether it’s their own, someone else’s, or just a puppy in general works just fine
because everyone sees things differently. The toy connects to the puppy because we all know
that they have to have toys and other objects for entertainment as well as to chew on. The paw
prints helps out with color recognition and how to spell that color. The dog houses are used not
only for color recognition continued but learning of different shapes like, square, triangle,
circle, etc. Far as in the different colored dog bones they have numbers on them that’s
associated with counting and children being able to recognize the numbers they see. So this
bulletin board is just not about puppies and toys but refreshing children’s minds on shapes,
colors, numbers, and different objects in a fun and colorful way.
