Toddlers and Food

Well, I had a bigger group than I have had so I didn't get to half of what I had planned but here is what I did.

Songs
The more we get together (with signs)
I like to eat apples and bananas (with signs)
Hands are for Clapping
Spaghetti Legs
If you're happy and you know it
What a Miracle

Books
On top of spaghetti
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Carle with flannel board
 - this one I handed out the fruit and had the kids put them on the flannel board

I didn't even do musical instruments which I had planned because the flannel board activity took too long. They liked it but they were so crazy!

Father's day Toddler Storytime

There are quite a few Daddy books these days so since I did Mother's day it seemed fair to do Father's day too.

Books:
My Daddy is a Giant by Norac
Daddy Hugs by Tafuri

Songs:
The more we get together (with signs)
Shake your Sillies out
Jumping and Counting
Shake your Bootie - with shakers
Teach your Children (very short) - with shakers
DADDY (to Bingo)
5 ties for daddy - Flannel

Went pretty well. People trickled in as usual. Ended up with 9 kids.

Jungle Animals - Toddler

This one went pretty well. I found a new cd that I liked "Wild Child" that I just had to use.

Books:
Spunky Monkey by Won - this is a new book. The kids were a little clueless that they need to do the motions along with the book.
I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle by Derrick

Songs:
The more we get together
Jumping and Counting
The Lion Sleeps tonight - on uke with shakers
Sunrise in the Jungle by Grunsky with shakers
What a Miracle

Fingerplay
5 little monkeys

I cut it short a bit because by the end I was losing my voice.
