Using pictures as models is a great visual perceptual activity that can be done at home. We read the book, 'My heart is like a zoo'. It is a wonderful book that takes hearts of different sizes and colors to make different animals. Each animal has it's own description, 'as cool as a penguin', etc, etc. It is a fun book. I gave the students various sizes and colors of hearts and used the book as a model. They made these wonderful creations. It is interesting to watch their minds work as they turn them and fit them together to make their animal creation.
Enjoy!
