Pete the Cat – Parent Suggestions
Dear Parents,
Pete the cat is in a good mood! He walks in the street happily, wearing his new white shoes, oblivious to the surprises to come that will change their color. But he always enjoys the new color and continue walking happy.
Some children – even adults – find it difficult to deal with obstacles and problems that come up daily, and get stuck in feelings of anger or disappointment that make it hard for them to see the half full cup and move on.
In this book, Pete invites us to deal positively with issues and learn to move on because life is beautiful!

We share with you some ideas regarding the book:

Family Activities

  • We can follow with our child what caused the color of Pete’s shoes to change every time: the strawberry changed it to red, blueberry to blue … we can suggest different colors, such as orange and black, and encourage him to think what might change Pete’s shoes color to these colors.
  • We can encourage our child to think of different objects that Pete might step on. What color would they turn his shoes?
  • We can go to take a look at the shoes in our closet and check: which one is dusty, ruined, or has stains or scratched? Where did we step on our way that caused the shoes to look like this?
  • Despite the fact the Pete adores his white shoes, he is quite happy with every new color. Can we can recall similar incidents that happened with us: perhaps a piece of furniture that was used for a new purpose when it got old.
  • A fabric dye workshop! Your child might enjoy experiencing dying cloths with different colors. We can use organic materials such as boiling turmeric.
