Dry Erase Activity Inspired By ‘The Pigeon Needs a Bath’

It seems like every week, my daughter finds a new favorite book. When she finds that book, she reads it over and over again and even has to sleep with it on her bed.

She loves books that make her laugh. She is a big fan of the Mo Willems books.

That silly pigeon cracks her up, but her favorite of all of them is ‘ The Pigeon Needs a Bath’ She giggles all the way through.

We wanted to do a fun little activity to go along with our favorite story of the moment.

Dry Erase Pigeon Cleaning Activity

The pigeon is a very simple character to make. It is just a few simple shapes to make it. You can choose to make your own pigeon or cut out a picture from a printout.

We placed our shapes into place and then covered the figure in self-laminating sheets.

We used washable markers to dirty up our pigeon.

I gave her a sponge, a little bit of water and a towel and let her wash and dry her pigeon. She must have done this about 5 or 6 times. She just kept getting the pigeon dirty and cleaning him back up again. It is easy to say that she had fun with this activity. It made the perfect companion to the book.
