Hats - Toddler

Today I did one of my favorites...Hats.

It was okay. The kids were very restless so I cut it a little short but everyone seemed to have fun.

Preschool Storytime - Dogs

I did this once for a preschool class and once for our regular preschool storytime.

Opening song - Open Shut them

Book #1 -  Motor Miles by Burningham
- This is a new book that the kids liked.
Song -
Shake Your Sillies Out
If you're a Dog and You Know It

Book #2 - A Dog is a Dog  by Shaskan
 - a cute one

Flannel - Dog's Colorful Day
Flannel and song - BINGO with uke
Song with uke - There's a Dog in School

Book #3 - The Doghouse by Thomas
 - not as interactive as some of hers but good

Closing song - What a Miracle

Craft - Paper bag Dog Puppet

Babies Storytime - my favorites

This is our weekend baby program which has had sporadic attendance so I figured I would just do my favorites and if no one showed up no problems.

Book - 10 Tiny Tickles by Katz

Songs -
The more we get together (on uke)
The wheels on the bus
Alabama Mississippi
May there always be sunshine (on uke)
Itsy Bitsy Spider
I know a chicken by Berkner with shakers
So Free by Charlie Hope with scarves
Bubbles by Raffi with bubbles

Finger Play
5 little monkeys (jumping on the bed)

This went so well, I think I will do it again. Since I knew all the songs well it was a pleasure to do this one!

Dog Toddler storytime

My first Toddle Storytime since September!!! Wow!!!

I used my dog theme.

Books -
Pudgy by Goodhart
 - Didn't a lot of help from the kids but the parents loved it
The Doghouse by Thomas
 - did this one after the rhythm instruments with expected results
A Hop is Up by Dempsey
 - a new book I really love. It gets the kids moving.
A Dog is a Dog by Shaskan
 - the dog is in a cat costume as well as others. I couched it by saying this is like halloween when you dress up. We over pretty well.
Dog's Colorful Day
- a flannel story

Music-
 - I want a Dog by Lunchmoney (instruments)
 - This Old Man (while coming in)
 - Who Left the Dogs out by Kidzbop (instruments)
 - If You're a Doggy and you Know it
 - BINGO flannel and on uke

How it went:
 It went pretty well considering how long it had been. There were only 5 toddlers and 1 baby. I ran out of stuff so I did many books. I didn't realize how many until I wrote them here. 2 of them are action books and one a flannel so I think it was okay.

I will be using this theme for outreach and preschool storytime next week.
