  • Let’s make a Mr. Potato Head. What should we start with?

  • Good idea! First, let’s start with a potato. What words can you come up with that start with the same sound? “P”

  • Yes! Now, think about other veggies we can use to represent other parts of the body. Oh! the eyes? Great idea, we can use a cutted cucumber! What shape do you see here? Yes! A circle can be used to represent the eyes!

  • Can you help me think of words that start with the same sound? “C”

  • What would you like to do now? Alright! The nose! I noticed you are looking at the carrots to represent the nose. Can you think of a shape that matches this? Yeah! A triangle!

  • Continue adding more parts and matching the same beginning sound.
