Each word family offers three separate activities. First, kids trace and fill in missing letters in simple rhyming words. Next, they can color in Kido's kid-tastic illustrations. Then, kids can draw their own version of the rhyming objects. For example, the "ug" family includes the words "hug," "bug," "mug," and "rug." Kids fill in the missing letters from the words, then color in a mug and a rug, then draw their own bugs. Youthful brains will be crackling with creativity and learning connections!
