A House for Hermit Crab Activity

We are reading A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle. We focused on the /k/ sound like in "crab" and /s/ blend words. There are many words in the book with these sounds: coral, crab, sea star, snail, etc. As you read you can have your child say these words a
fter you.

Print off the crab picture. You can decorate his shell by coloring, and also add the /k/ target sound words on his shell by coloring and gluing them on. Have the child say each word 5-10 times as they glue it on.
