Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Farm (Preschool and Two's)

Preschool Storytime:

Opening: Big Books


Fingerplay: Make a Pig
*My preschoolers love to tell me what I'm doing
wrong on my flannelboard, so today they helped
me make a pig! To see this fabulous idea in action,
check out the link below. Trust me, I didn't
come up with the idea, but I have done other animals
after finding this wonderful flannel!

Book: Bathtime for Little Rabbit (Special guest doing ASL)

*This book is always great for storytime, and the
preschoolers loved doing all the actions
along with me.


Fingerplay: Five Bars of Soap (Book: 1,000 Fingerplays & Action Rhymes)
Five bars of soap and not one more.
{Puppet} took one and then there were four.
Four bars of soap for everyone to see.
{Puppet} took one, and then there were three.
Three bars of soap, we’re almost through.
{Puppet} took one, and then there were two.
Two bars of soap, having lots of fun.
{Puppet} took one, and then there was one.
One bar of soap, sitting all alone.
{Puppet} took it, and then there was none.
*I edited this and decided to have puppets take the
bars of soap.  You can also do five rubber ducks
instead of soap. Stand up and act like each animal!


Book: Dini Dinosaur (With Flannel)

*Dini Dinosaur is a must read-aloud when I'm doing a bath theme!  I have a flannelboard that I use,
and the kids always get a kick out of seeing it.

Fingerplay: 5 Rubber Ducks (Use puppet stage)
5 rubber ducks came out to play,
Battling the waves in the tub today.
Along came the splash that sent one to shore,
And then he couldn’t play anymore.
4 rubber ducks…3 rubber ducks…2 rubber ducks…
1 rubber duck came out to play,
Battling the waves in the tub today.
Along came the splash that sent him to shore,
Now no rubber ducks can play anymore.
*The preschoolers went crazy over this!  What I did
was have five rubber ducks on the puppet stage
behind me.  The preschoolers and I would wave our
arms up and down while we said: Battling the
waves in the tub today.  When we said: Along came
the splash, we threw our hands up in the air.
At this point, my volunteer behind me took the spray
bottle and squirted water over the puppet stage.

Book: Barnyard Banter

*I love to have my volunteer behind the stage with our duck puppet.  As I'm reading this book, we go along making all the animal sounds.  When I read the line "Where's goose", except I will replace that with "Where's duck?", my volunteer will pop up the duck puppet.  The preschooler will scream and shout out at me there's the duck!  They absolutely love this!

Our craft today was a torn paper piggie!

Fingerplay/Flannel: Barn Hiding Game
*We hunted for a rabbit behind many different
colored barns.


Book: Barnyard Banter (With Duck Puppet)


Fingerplay: Wishy Washy Song (Tune:  London Bridge)
The cow jumped in the mud, in the mud,
in the mud.  The cow jumped in the mud.  
Now he’s dirty.
…pig rolled, …duck paddled.
WHO DO WE CALL TO WASH THE ANIMALS?  MRS
WISHY-WASHY! (ADDED THIS)
The cow washed in the tub, in the tub, in the tub.  
The cow washed in the tub.
Wishy, Washy.
…pig…duck.
The all jumped in the mud, in the mud,
in the mud.  They all jumped in the mud
they are dirty again.
*I love doing this with the kids, and to make it more
interactive, we all stand up and jump!  
I have a box covered with brown fabric, and my
volunteer will have my animals "jump" into the mud.
 So much fun!
