This is a brand new theme for me, and I was a little worried about it. Thankfully, it turned out to be so much fun and the kids enjoyed it so much! This is one I definitely will do again.
Preschool Storytime:
Fingerplay: Transportation Matching Game
*The kids love telling me what I have wrong on my flannelboard, and today was no exception.

Book: Little Plane Learns to Write
*This books is really cute, and I wanted to incorporate the clouds onto my flannelboard. I cut out all the letters, and had my volunteer place them on the flannelboard as the little plane spelled them out. But when little plane had trouble make the letter "o" we would all roll our hands to help him. The kids loved rolling their hands as little plane did “loops”.
“Five Little Airplanes”
Five little airplanes flying around
Zoom…zoom…zomm
One decided to touch down …zoom (Here we all touched the floor.)
Leaving 4 little airplanes flying around.
Continue song with 4…3…2…1…
There were not little airplanes flying around
Then all 5 airplanes left the ground
Zooooooom!
All five airplanes flying around.

*We stood up and acted like planes and touched the ground. Went crazy screaming and shouting when a plane disappeared behind me.
Book: Not a Box
* I drew out the pictures from the book, and placed them on a box, along with my rabbit puppet. They kids enjoyed this, but not as much as I had hoped.

Fingerplay: Ten Little Froggies (Only do five and use five green and speckled frogs prop)
One little froggie goes hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop so...
Two little froggies go hop, hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop
Three little froggies go hop, hop, hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop. soo
Continue in this manner and end as follows
Ten little froggies go hop, hop, hop, hop hop
Drop! time to stop
Hop each time you count the froggies...and when you get to ten hop ten
times and count on fingers...fall gently down to floor

*Went crazy shouting and screaming when my frogs “hopped” away!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Rocket Ship Hiding Game
*Instead of hunting for our little mouse behind a house we hunted for a fox behind a rocket ship!
Book: Bottoms Up!
*I had time to read but didn’t want to push the kids. Looking back I wish I had read it, it's a simple but really cute board book and I think they would have really enjoyed the silly animals.
Fingerplay: Four Little Stars
Three little stars
With nothing to do.
One shot off,
Then there were two!
Two little stars
Afraid of the sun.
One shot off,
Then there was one!
One little star
Alone is no fun.
It shot off,
then there was none!

*For this I make big stars to go on my flannelboard. When I take one off, I have a bunch of little stars that I throw out onto the kids. They absolutely love this!
Our craft today was an airplane! The preschoolers had crayons laid out so they could write their name in place of the windows. A few of them got very creative and drew their family inside the airplane. So precious!
