C is for Comet III

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's introduce the word 'comet.' Show your child the materials and say, 'We're going to make a comet! Can you say co-met? Listen to the 'K' sound at the beginning: k-k-k-comet.'

2. 2

   Now, let's make the comet's head. Give your child the foil and say, 'Crunch the foil into a ball—this is our comet's icy head! While we squeeze, let's practice: comet starts with 'K,' like k-k-k-crunch!'

3. 3

   Time for the tail! Help your child glue tissue paper strips to the ball and say, 'This tail makes our comet sparkle! Can you say comet as we stick it on? K-k-k-comet flying through space!' Then encourage imaginative play.
