Grid: Grids and chimeras

Prepare a grid with large cells. Draw a cat head (or your kid’s favorite animal) in each cell of the first column, and a cat body in each cell of the first row. The corner cell will have the whole cat. Ask the child to pick the next animal (babies and toddlers can point at pictures or toys to pick). Draw the head of that animal in each cell of the second column, and the body in each cell of the second row. Kids may want to draw heads and bodies, or have you draw with their hand in yours. Use different colors for different animals. Younger children may want to “drive” a toy truck along rows and columns, “delivering” heads and bodies to each cell.
