Another favorite makes homage to Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. A great counting story (video), and you'll find the song truly infectious.
We are accustomed to teaching with a model in front of a child, but these instructions should make it so that anyone can build one without our presence. We urge that parents and teachers be there to guide – but to allow the child to try to let the materials (and a picture of the final product) guide them. A wrong direction is always un-doable until you've glued something.
