They are friends! II
Take time to discuss what happens in the story between the main characters, identifying them in the printouts. Ask your child to group the characters together that were friends in the movie, to make another group with the characters that were family, and another one with characters that are mean. Let this activity spark a conversation about relationships with friends and family.
Free to do together whenever you like.
