Keep a Poem in Your Pocket

April has been National Poetry Day!  We celebrated this month at our Do It Yourself Table!  And April 24th was "Keep a Poem in Your Pocket" Day.  It was a little challenging to come up with a craft to go with poetry...but a kangaroo has a pocket to carry a poem in.  So a kangaroo became our "mascot" for poetry month!


Here's our kangaroo craft--with short (4 line poems) to put into its pocket!  (Idea adapted from this site)


Children were also invited to make up their own poems by cutting out words from old magazines and gluing them onto a paper.

 We also had a kangaroo maze and a kangaroo coloring page.
