Hey there fellow parents of preschoolers and homeschoolers! I am so excited to share with you all a super fun and educational activity that will bring the book “Gregory The Terrible Eater” to life in a whole new way. Get ready to dive into the world of the letter G with this interactive and engaging activity that your little ones are sure to love!
First off, if you haven’t read “Gregory The Terrible Eater” yet, I highly recommend picking up a copy. This adorable story follows Gregory, a goat who prefers fruits, vegetables, eggs, and fish to the usual goat diet of tires, cans, and shirts. As Gregory’s parents try to get him to eat more traditional goat food, silliness ensues. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming tale that will have both you and your child giggling from start to finish.
Now onto the fun part – the activity! To kick things off, you’ll want to print out this free Gregory goat face printout. Just click to download and/or print. Next, grab a cardboard box and glue the goat face printout to the front. Use scissors to carefully cut out the goat’s mouth, creating a hole big enough to feed items into.

Now, it’s time to put together your sensory bin. Gather an assortment of play food, toys, and even some trash items (clean, of course) to represent the different foods Gregory eats in the book. Think fruits, vegetables, eggs, fish, and some silly items like tires and cans. Place everything in a large bin or container for your child to easily access.
As you read “Gregory The Terrible Eater” with your little one, have them interact with the story by feeding the cutout goat various items from the sensory bin. Encourage them to match the foods to the ones mentioned in the book, or get creative and have them try feeding Gregory some funny items like a toy car or a hairbrush.
Not only is this activity a blast for your child, but it also helps reinforce key concepts like letter recognition (G is for Gregory!) and story comprehension. Plus, it encourages imaginative play and fine motor skills as they feed the goat different items through the mouth cutout.
And the best part? This activity is both fun and educational, making it a win-win for you and your child. So grab your copy of “Gregory The Terrible Eater,” print out that goat face, and get ready to have a blast exploring the letter G in a whole new way.
I hope you and your little one have a wonderful time with this “Letter G” themed activity. If you give it a try, be sure to share your experiences with us in the comments below. Happy reading and playing!
