Ask your parents if they knew this story. If they did know it, maybe they can tell you some memories they had of themselves reading it when they were younger. Or, they can tell you about one of their favorite childhood stories.<\/p>\n
How many trains were there? What words did the author use to \u2018name\u2019 the trains?<\/p>\n
Take a minute to look at the page that says \u201cAnd there were cars full of toy engines, airplanes, tops, jack-knives, picture puzzles, books, and every kind of thing boys or girls could want.\u201d Do those toys look like your toys now, or are your toys different from these, I wonder? Did your parents have any of the toys on this page?<\/p>\n
Maybe you can say the \u201cI think I can-I think I can-I think I can\u201d part of the story together with whomever is reading it with you\u2026<\/p>\n
For the craft today\u2026<\/p>\n
Can you draw (or make using a milk carton), one of the train engines from this story? You can choose from the little train (who couldn\u2019t get over the hill), the Shiny New Engine (who came first), the Big Strong Freight Engine(who came second), or, the Little Blue Engine (who was the last train to come). Take a look at them again in the story video.<\/p>\n
I hope that you enjoyed the story today! See you next time :).<\/p>\n
I think I can–I think I can–I think I can–I think I can-I think YOU can!<\/p>\n
