Read The Hungry Thing by Jan Slepian. Create your own “hungry thing” by drawing on posterboard and cutting a space for the mouth. You may want to add some textured fabric for the fur. Show the children some food items and talk about how the Hungry Thing might ask for them such as, “If he wants cookies, he'll ask for wookies or tookies.” Encourage the children to feed the items to the puppet.
