When we arrived at the part in the book where the tree house spun, each child received a Dizzy Pill (which is actually a tootsie roll) to help make them less dizzy. After eating their Dizzy Pills, the children were instructed to spin around three times, as if they were in the spinning tree house.
When we got to the part in the book where Jack wrote in his notebook, I showed the notebook I made that has all of Jack's notes in it.
Our first craft was making a monkey! I passed out a picture of a monkey's body and 2 green pipe cleaners to each child. After coloring the monkey, the children taped the 2 pipe cleaners in an X shape to the back of the monkey to form its arms and legs.
Next, the children colored and cut out tiger faces. I passed out 5 black triangles to each child to glue onto their tiger (1 on the top of the face, 2 on each side).
Our last craft was making the "gift from a forest far away" that Jack and Annie found on their adventure - the lotus blossom. Each child colored and cut out a picture of a lotus blossom. Then, they taped their flower onto a stick (we used chopsticks) to serve as the stem.
