School classes can also do a co-operative kind of book about the classroom pet.
This is a project pet lovers of all ages can enjoy. Of course, children can do this kind of story by hand or on the computer and put it into any blank book. The kit includes a ceramic dish and paint. Kids design the dish and then you bake it in the oven to make the paint permanent. Kits like this require flexing their artistic muscle and fine motor skills.
