Farm Lift-a-Flap Board Book with Moveable Picture Pieces and Downloadable Activities for Ages 3 and Up
This farm lift-a-flap board book turns the search for a missing barn cat into an interactive reading activity. Children lift the flaps and use moveable picture pieces as they help the farmer find his cat, creating opportunities to name farm vocabulary, discuss positions and answer yes/no questions.
Built-in yes/no visuals and a sentence strip give children concrete ways to take part in the story. Designed for ages 3 and up, the book includes downloadable activities that extend reading into coloring, comprehension and a barn-and-animals craft. Pop the die-cut picture squares out before the first use, handle the flaps and pieces carefully, and supervise young children because the small pieces present a choking hazard.
