Why this page suits ages 4–5
This page pairs the easiest job on any page with one of the hardest:
- a huge body — fills in fast, gives an early sense of progress,
- a row of small teeth — the precision bit, deliberately left till last,
- two tiny ears — small targets at the top of the head.
💬 Tip for grown-ups
Do the body first, the teeth last. Starting with the easy part and saving the hard bit for the end is a strategy worth teaching early.
