Fun Shoe Activities Inspired by Pete the Cat

Do you love Pete The Cat as much as we do? There isn’t one book that we have read that we don’t enjoy reading over and over again. Our favorite, though, is Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes. It is such a great idea for a theme and leads to so many fun activities! We found some of our favorite shoe activities that include Math, Literacy, Art & Crafts, and Sensory.
