Dogs and Cats on the Farm
Lots of farms have both a dog and a cat, and when they grow up together they often become real pals. The dog keeps an eye on the yard and the animals, while the cat keeps mice away from the barn and the feed. Dogs use their tails to “talk” – wagging can mean happy or just excited. Cats, on the other hand, purr when they feel comfy.
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
Cut out the hugging pair and glue it onto folded paper for a homemade friendship card. In preschool, it’s a sweet way to start a chat about making up after an argument.
