Create simple prop boxes that the children can use in the reading center for retelling familiar stories. For The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, you might provide a caterpillar made by covering a chip can with paper or felt and fruit from your math or dramatic play center. For Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr., paint a coconut tree on a cookie sheet or attach one that you drew with markers/printed from clip art and cover it with contact paper and add magnetic letters.
