Hello boys and girls,
If we were at school, yesterday would have been our annual Food Fair. Maybe some of you would have remembered it from last year, but for some, it would have been the first time. If you were at the Christmas Bazaar last November, it would have been a much bigger version, with many food booths, games and vendors selling many goods.
Our story today is about a peddler. A peddler is someone who comes around the neighborhood selling things. They could come on a bicycle, in a car or truck, pulling a cart, on foot, many many different ways. It might be different depending on the country too. Let’s see what this peddler does today in our story, Caps for Sale. Please enjoy!

- What happened to the caps when the peddler woke up from his nap?
- Can you watch again and pretend to be the peddler and then the monkeys?
- Which cap do you think you would like to have?

Can you walk with something on your head? You can find things to place on your head and see if you can balance it and walk around your room or your house. When you get good with one, try to put another and another.
Here are some examples of placing a book or a basket on your head. It’s actually a Montessori activity for Walking on the Line. You can try walking on a line while placing these objects on your head!
