TRA-LA-LAAA!

Hello everyone!



Today, Norman decided to put on a cape and some underpants and run around the house like one of his favourite storybook characters, Captain Underpants. He even tried jumping off the back of the couch when I asked him if he wanted a treat, but his cape fell off, so he wasn't able to fly. He did eat his treat while still wearing his underpants though ;)

Dav Pilkey is an author who always makes us laugh - the Captain Underpants and Dog Man books are some of the most popular books in our library!

Norman and I thought you might like to work on some Captain Underpants and Dog Man activities while you are at home.  I have attached two Captain Underpants colouring sheets that you could print and colour (if you have a printer at home), a Captain Underpants crossword puzzle and two "How to Draw Captain Underpants and Dog Man" guides so you can try to draw your own characters at home! 

1) Captain Underpants colouring sheet (from bestcoloringpagesforkids.com)

2) Captain Underpants colouring sheet (from https://pilkey.com

4) How to draw Captain Underpants and Dog Man (Step-by-step instructions, from  https://pilkey.com

And if all of that isn't enough, Dav Pilkey has started a new website called "Dav Pilkey at Home" where he is adding weekly videos and activities for kids to keep entertained at home!  Every Friday he adds a new video of himself showing how to draw one of his famous characters, or reading from one of his books, so make sure to check out the link and see what fun things he is creating for you! 

I also know that many of you have your own Dav Pilkey books at home, so pull them out and read one for at least 15 minutes today. If you don't have any Dav Pilkey books at home, pull out one of your other favourite books to read - because reading makes you smart!
