Fingerplay/Flannel: Hearts with Animals
*I only did four hearts that are listed on this fingerplay, because I had the puppets to go along with it. I had the hearts printed out, and then the picture of the animal on the other side. After I read the rhyme and had the preschoolers guess what animal got my heart, I gave the heart to that puppet. The preschoolers loved seeing my puppets pop up! You can see all the rhymes listed on the site below.
Book: Pouch! by Stein
*I adore using this book in storytime. Why? Because we jump all throughout the book! Baby kangaroo jumps in and out of his mama's pouch. Each time he jumps one more time than he did before. Not only do we get to move around a lot, but it also helps teach the kids to count to five!
Action: Five Kisses to Give Away (Place kisses on animals)
I have five kisses to give away,
Who should I kiss on this special day?
*I apologize, I have on idea where I found this. If it's your idea, please let me know!
Book: What Not to Give Your Mom on Mother’s Day
*I was hesitant to read this book, but the kids did seem to enjoy it this time. I think it's an adorable book to use!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Fingerplay/Flannel: “A Flower for You”
(Make flower, and when you sneeze, throw petals on kids)
Out in the garden the flowers grew,
Each with a different color and hue.
I picked the {red} one just for you.
Then took a sniff and went “Ah-choo!”
And away the petals of the flower flew
*As usual, the kids love having petals being thrown on them!

*Our craft today was a ladybug for our mom!
