I recommend that you laminate and use these transparent velcro dots for kids to stick the animal pieces over the shadows.
Hello, thanks for this activity! My kids and I are learning all about animals right now. I wanted to download the resource but when clicking on the link it says I need to request permission to access the document. Am I skipping a step?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Hi, I'm sorry you are having trouble. The files are hosted on Google Drive, and this causes problems for a few people if they are not signed into a Google/Gmail account. If you email me at [email protected] I can email you the PDF file.
DeleteHi Bekki, yes the kids are supposed to match the animals to their shadows. I'm not sure why you are not seeing all the shadows. I recommend using the browser Google Chrome and saving the file to your computer before printing.
ReplyDeleteYour post is great and very interesting, thank you the post.

ReplyDeleteHello Jeremi. Thanks for reaching out. Here are a few tips that usually help people who have printing trouble:
ReplyDelete1) When you click on the download link and the file opens up in your browser, save it to your computer first. Then, open it in Adobe Reader and print it from there.
2) Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
3) Sometimes it helps to try a different browser, for example Google Chrome is usually the most compatible with our files.

ReplyDeleteThis is cool! I have a 2 year old daughter and she's now learning new things and this will be one of them. I will definitely download it and print it for her. She actually knows different animals now even with their sounds. It will also be fun and a great time teaching my child.
ReplyDeletehi. I'm from Malaysia. Thanks alot for sharing this. my daughter aged 3, have problems with her speech and have been referred to ENT under Speech Therapy. It looks like she's having vocabulary/language delay. The therapist ask me to do lots of DIY activity (the same as u showed in your blog) at home. and here I am...feeling glad that someone is sharing something helpful for me to do along with my daughter. Thank you so much for sharing these <3
ReplyDeleteI wish I could use this awesome resource, but I'm having the same problem as everyone else. The shadows will not print after many attempts and following your troubleshooting directions.
