O is for Ocean (Preschool and Two's)

This week was very unusual for storytime. Where
we usually do our storytimes had no heat! Ugh!
So, we moved our storytimes downstairs to the
Youth Services department. Which gave us very
limited space, but we made it work. I did shorten
the storytime quite a bit, and I had to cut out
a lot of the fun stuff I had planned, due to space
constraints. We sent the craft home with the kids,
because we had no tables available for the kids to
do their craft on. I'm praying our auditorium will be
back next week, because it's a new storytime
theme for me and I am very excited about it!


Preschool Storytime:

Opening: Big Books

Book: Nothing Like a Puffin (With flannel and props)
*I've never used this book before in storytime, but I highly recommend it!  All through the book you compare things that you don't think look like a puffin, but do they?  I made flannel pieces to match the items inside the book.  That way I could show everything to the kids and talk about what did and didn't match the puffin.  The kids seemed to enjoy telling me yes or no.

Fingerplay: Five Little Penguins Jumping on the Bed

Book: Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark


I sent the craft home today with the kids, we made a penguin wearing a toboggan!  


Time for Two's Storytime:

Opening: Big Books

Song: If You Want to Hear a Story

Book: Brrr! Brrr!  Can You Say It Too?
*The kids loved seeing the animals inside the book, especially the last flap.  It has babies hiding!
