S is for Snail



Eighteen children attended Creating with Books in September 2012. We had fun learning, imagining, creating and eating snails. I shared a non-fiction book highlighting facts about snails, then I shared a realistic and fantasy picture book with a snail character. 





For our craft I used snail shells and Crayola Magic Clay that I bought at Michael's and copper wire. The children colored the snail shell with silver and gold Sharpie markers, then formed the snails body and added the antennae eyes. 






 I told them that we were going to eat snails while we watch a giant snail in a movie.Yuck! Gross! 
At the end of our hour we watched the last segment of  Doctor Doolittle.
It features a giant pink snail that the characters board and sail away in and the kids did enjoy the 
 cinnamon bun snails that I made earlier.
