SUPER SILLY MATH AT PIGEON STORY TIME

Reading Mo Willems’ Pigeon Series

My family has pretty much been obsessed with Mo Willems’ work since #thebigone was very young. His fifth birthday party even had a Mo Willems’ theme! It seemed natural to put together a Pigeon story time for my kiddos. Mo Willems’ famous series features a stubborn, independent Pigeon who wants to try everything! Through simple text, Willems essentially speaks to his young readers. He requests that they make sure the Pigeon head to bed, or take a bath, while the Pigeon ‘argues’ his case. My boys have always loved answering back to the Pigeon, and laughing at his antics. Willems’ illustrations are minimal and cartoon-y, which makes them approachable for budding artists to recreate.

Math Practice With The Pigeon

We lovingly call #thebigone ‘Math Man’ at home. If somethine has to do with numbers, he’s excited about it. I created these fun free printables especially for his Pigeon story time. Your little mathematicians will love them too. The printables are super simple. Many young students can work through the independently, making them great for busy mamas! The activity is perfect practice for identifying numbers 1-100, following directions, and also reading some basic color sight words.
