Feltboard stories, the difference between "gallos y gallinas" and a rare appearance from Slam's mom when Slam refuses to return my toys.

Children often have a hard time keeping these two straight (and understanding their differences), so Camello comes on the scene to make some crazy jokes and help build associations:

There is a "pollito" hidden in one of the eggs...and there are also two "peligroso" (dangerous) eggs in the bunch...

Playing with scale and size is always fun for young children who daily grapple with the reality of  their own smallness in relation to the scale of a world built for adults... 

In many of my classes the children request an appearance from Slam's mom on an almost weekly basis. I don't bring her onto the scene very often, Slam is a pretty autonomous guy and he tends to have separation issues when she comes around...but for some reason the kids LOVE having his mom show up. So...here she is...helping me with a little discipline and communication issue!
