The kiwi is a fascinating flightless bird and the smallest in the ratites group that includes: the cassowary, emu, ostrich, and rhea. It is an icon of New Zealand, and the kiwifruit was re-branded in honor of the bird, as it resembles its "furry like" body and color. The kiwi lays the largest eggs in proportion to body size of almost any other bird. The kiwi is the only bird in the world with nostrils at the end of its beak. The kiwi is timid during daytime, nocturnal, an omnivore and mates for life.
Alphabet activities:

Children Age 3 and under:

Print a letter K coloring page and a kiwi coloring page behind it or on a separate page if using paints to decorate later. Discuss other letter K words - view the worksheet for ideas.

Finger Tracing: Trace letter K's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the letter. Invite the children to do the same on their coloring page.

Children can color and trace the letter K's with the most common colors of the kiwi's feathers. Use finger paints, crayons, water colors and even paste some craft feathers. Write the word kiwi on the margin.

Handwriting worksheet tips:

Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter, and explain the direction of the arrows and numbers that help them trace the letter correctly.

During the demonstration, you may want to count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the number order aids them in the writing process.

Have the children find all the letter K's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle them.
