Book: Apples and Robins

*I am in love with this book! You see one item on the page, and when you turn it over it magically becomes an apple or a bird! The kids enjoyed it, but didn’t like as much as I hoped.

Time for Two’s Storytime:

Opening: Big Books

Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story

Book: Triangles by Yonezu

*Normally I don't do three books with the two's, but I risked it today and I'm so glad I did. This board book is super short and simple, but the two's went wild over it! I'm so happy that they loved it like they did.

Fingerplay/Flannel: “Baby Kangaroo, Baby Kangaroo”

Book: Achoo! By Morgand
*As usual, the two's went bonkers during this book. Why? Because I threw out all the paper shapes onto them!
