A Picture Book of .................for Presidents' Day

David Adler has written many biographies for children.  Most are entitled A Picture Book of ..............   Some important ones as we welcome the month of February - George Washington, James Madison and Abraham Lincoln.  Think about making a cherry pie (my mom always did) on February 22 for Washington's BD.  A great legend about telling the truth.
Here are some coloring pages, a trivia quiz, and a memory/concentration game. Some hands on activities might be great for preschool and beginning readers to start to make some connections with these famous Americans.
A fun scavenger hunt will begin to introduce the ideas of research to youngsters.
