Raccoons


25 pages.

If you read the adorable book The Kissing Hand, by Aurdrey Penn, you're familiar with Chester an anxious little raccoon.  Since he is such an endearing character for children, I thought I'd incorporate him into some fun hand's-on shape games and activities. 
This packet will be FREE for an entire year, after which time it will be included in my jumbo Kissing Hand (Raccoon-Themed) Shape Packet available in my TpT shop.  Click on the link to pop on over.
