Who knew that a puddle of spilt milk could look like so many things!?. We watch along as the puddle of spilt milk transforms into various objects (a squirrel, a rabbit…). This creative, and easy to read, little book encourages children to explore their imagination.

Materials

• paper
• drawing/colouring utensils

Activity
