Do you have any ideas as to how they got their name? Maybe you will find out more in this video or you could look in a book or search online.
Did you enjoy looking at these monkeys? Would do you think is the best thing about them? Would YOU like to be a spider monkey? Why?
F. Can you count back from 5 with this song about monkeys jumping on the bed? Can you start from another number and sing the song?
G. Many of you know that spiders use their webs to catch flies and other things. Some of you were also interested in building traps to capture the adults in nursery. Why don’t you use blocks, cushions, furniture, string or anything else you like to create a trap of your own in the house or garden?
H. Enjoy this story about a very busy spider.
