Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

I decided to do bugs today for Toddlertime and yesterday for Head Start outreach with varied success.

Book #1 – Buzz by Wang

Hand out scarves
Flutter, Flutter Butterfly
Tune: “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”
Flutter, flutter, butterfly. Floating in the bright blue sky.
Floating by for all to see,
Floating by so merrily. Flutter, flutter, butterfly,
Floating in the bright blue sky.

Rhythm of the scarves (song)

Flannel Board –Color Butterfly
Book #2 – In the Tall, Tall, Grass

The Beehive
Here is a beehive
Make a fist
Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch as they come out of their hive—
One, two, three, four, five,
Extend fingers one at a time
They’re alive! Buzzzzzz!
Wiggle your fingers
Book/Song - Itsy Bitsy Spider

My early lit hint was for vocabulary.

I handed out cushions because one girl likes them but my 18 month old boys were playing with them and when I made them stop all heck broke loose. One boy had to leave. So much for trying cushions. Never again!
