I love the idea of connecting crafts with books, two of our favorite activities! I read here on
A Mommy's Adventures how they created an apple tree to go along with
Chicka Chicka 1,2,3
. Well, Serenity loves that book, but we had just checked out
Chicka Chicka ABC 
from the library so I decided to adapt their project for my two year old and for that book. So we made a coconut tree! Actually we made three coconut trees because Serenity LOVED this activity so much! I traced her hands onto green sticky foam, and cut them out, along with shapes for the trunk and some brown coconuts. Then Serenity got to use her stickers! Then I pulled out the letter stickers so she could have letters climbing up her coconut tree, and she asked me for each letter in order. Great practice! And a great fine motor skills activity as well, placing those little stickers isn't easy!
