This month the Community helper Pack<\/a> came out. It has been loads of fun to use. We really loved the books we have been using for it. So we pick a book from that to use for our Poppins Book Nook activity this month.<\/p>\n

\"Whose<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We decided to use the book Whose Tools Are These?: A Look at Tools Workers Use – Big, Sharp, and Smooth (Whose Is It?: Community Workers)<\/a>\"\". I really love this series of books because if gives you so much you can explore.<\/p>\n

What you need: various tools that community helpers might have or use.<\/p>\n

\"Whose<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We explored each of the tools one the tray. We pulled out the ones that were from the book and not and talked about what ways they could use these tools.<\/p>\n

Hairdresser or hair stylist was fun to pretend to use the blow drier. <\/p>\n

\"Whose<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Doctor was lots of fun to pretend to listen to the heart and lungs.<\/p>\n

\"Whose<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Veterinarian was also good as well. They pretended to check their stuff animals.<\/p>\n

\"Whose<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This was such a fun activity and one that you can let go and do some free play with for a while. You can always try different tools on different days. Look at the tools and see if more than one person might use that tool. You could name a name and have them look for tools you might have in the house. This is fun and a great way to explore the tools and learn more about the community and their jobs.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to check out the Free Community Pack<\/a>. It has over 190 pages of activities!<\/p>\n
