Toddlertime - Body Parts

I have done this one before but not for a while. It was very successful!
Early Lit Tip - Vocabulary

Opening song: The More we Get Together (on uke)

Book #1: My Octopus Arms by Baker

Finger Play
On my Face - from storytime katie
On my face I have a nose (point to nose)
And way down here, I have ten toes, (point to toes)
I have two eyes that I can blink (blink eyes)
I have a head to help me think (put hands on head)
I have a chin and very near (point to chin)
I have tow ears to help me hear (put hands to ears)
I have a mouth with which to speak (point to mouth)
And when I run I use my feet. (pretend to run in place)
Here are my arms to hold up high (put arms up high)
And here's a hand to wave goodbye. (wave)

We did this one twice, it was so much fun!

Book #2 - We've All Got Bellybuttons by Martin

Song - Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Song - Hands are for Clapping by Jim Gill

Book #3 - Eyes, Nose, Fingers, and Toes by Hindley
Kind of lost them with this one, they came back with some interactive movements.

Dance - Bean Bag by Palmer
They loved the bean bags. Definitely a hit. Some preferred them to the coloring sheet.

May there Always be Sunshine (on uke)
I do this to try to learn names. Not my strong suit.

Closing song - Oh What a Miracle!
Coloring sheet - This is me!

Here are a couple of photos of the kids with the beanbags.
