Time for Two’s:
Opening: Big Books

Board Book: Where is Baby’s Turkey?
*This is a brand new Thanksgiving book by Karen Katz, and the two's loved it! I tend to forget how much they enjoy lift-the-flap books.

What color house are you in today?
Book: There’s a Giraffe in My Soup!
*Did someone order soup? I never expected the two's to go crazy over this book, but they did! I did more of a storytelling with this one. I had my volunteer deliver me a soup pot, with each animal hidden inside it. After I opened my soup and discovered the animal, I sent the soup pot back with her and showed the pictures inside the book to the kids. Then she would bring back my soup pot and we'd continue on. I was afraid the story would be lost on the two's, but it wasn't. The best part? When I showed them the dessert page, which was a moose with a cherry on top, but I was supposed to receive a mousse! The parents got that joke in the book, which made it even more enjoyable!
Action: Turkey Feathers
*This is a flannel we already had prepared at my library. All the kids received a feather with velcro on the back. Then they all brought up their feathers to stick around my turkey on the flannelboard.
Our craft today was a turkey! We used scrapbook paper for the feathers, and the two's glued everything themselves. You can order a kit if you don't want to prepare the craft yourself, just click the link below.

Book: Chimpanzees for Tea!
