Olivia!!!!

Olivia is one of my favorite children's book and luckily the girls love it too! We did a little unit study on Olivia with our friends and it was so much fun! Here's our activities:


  • I read the book and used our felt pieces as I told the story. I printed the pictures from Nick Jr and then I laminated the front and glued felt on the back. Nick Jr. had a lot of fun stuff to do with Olivia on there site.
  • We went on a red hunt and loaded up our bags with all things red since that is Olivia's favorite color. Then we counted all of our things individually and then added them together.

  • We painted pictures like the ones Olivia saw in the museum and while they painted I went over different things that happened in the book and asked the girls if Olivia made a good decision or bad decision and if it was bad how could she have done it differently.
  • We practiced writing the letter "O" for Olivia.

  • Talked about and acted like pigs since Olivia is a pig.

  • Colored a picture of Olivia.
  • Learned the sign for o and red

  • Played with moon sand since Olivia built sandcastles at the beach with her mom.

Homeschool Share some neat ideas as well!
