This parrot finger puppet is our rainforest representative. 

Greet each child with Polly. Put her on and slightly curl your finger. Polly leans forward just enough to charm any child. Make them giggle with a "good morning peck (kiss) on the cheek". 

This kind of one-on-one connection is exactly how we activate those executive functions! Make every child feel seen and safe with Polly the Parrot

Try doing it with your best parrot squawking voice for extra cred with the kiddos.

Use the Watch What You Say (I’m A Parrot) rhyme for some fun science about this amazing bird and its relatives.
