Preschool Storytime:
*This is a completely new storytime for me, and it was so much fun! I was very hesitant about it at first, but I really loved it! I had to make a lot of flannels and props for this theme, but that's okay. I always keep them and try to work them in again sometime in the future. We had an amazing crowd for preschool storytime, 37 kids! Woo-Hoo!
Opening: Big Books
Book: Pete the Cat: Pete’s Big Lunch (Feed lunch to puppets at end.)
*I made a flannel for this storytime, which I have a picture of below. As I'm reading, I ask the preschoolers what food I'm putting up on the flannelboard. Once I get to the end of the story, where Pete the Cat calls his friends to come over to eat his lunch, I decide to do my own twist on the story. I have my volunteer behind me with puppets, and then I feed parts of the lunch to my puppets! The preschoolers loved this!
Book: This Is Not a Cat
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five little Kittens Jumping on the Bed
Book: This Is Not a Cat
*I decided at the last minute to read this book, and the preschoolers liked it. The only thing I would change is to make some drawing to go along with it. The reason why is because the mouse int the story is teaching all the other mice what a cat looks like. I'd love to make drawings to hold up to show the preschoolers everything that's in the book. I did have my volunteer behind me so that we could have the cat puppet pop up and surprise us at the end of the book.
(Next time make drawings to hold up. Still liked book.)

Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Kitty Cats (Make five cats to put on puppet stage.)
Five little kitty cats sleeping on the floor
One pounced away, and now there are four!
Four little kitty cats, cute as can be,
One leapt away, and now there are three!
Three little kitty cats, hunters through and through,
One caught a mouse, and now there are two!
Two little kitty cats, basking in the sun,
One slinked away, and now there's only one!
One little kitty cat got up to stretch and yawn,
Our craft today was Pete the Cat standing up! The preschoolers really seemed to enjoy the fact that Pete would stand all on his own!

Time for Two’s Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: Stack the Cats
*I adore this book! What I did was make ten cats to use as props for this book. Then I stuck my cats to the front of boxes, so that I could literally stack the cats! The two's really liked seeing the cats being stacked right before their eyes. I wish I had done this story with the preschool crowd, I just had too much planned for them. But I hope to use this book in April with my preschoolers.
