Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Book: Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party
*As Pete the Cat is making his pizza, all of his friends wants to add something to the pizza. I wanted to make a flannel for this, so I've attached a picture of what mine turned out like. I ended up cutting out all the pieces out of construction paper and then laminating them, to make them sturdier. The preschoolers loved seeing my gross and silly pizza!
Fingerplay:
Pizza man, pizza man, turn around
Pizza man, pizza man, touch the ground
Pizza man, pizza man, jump up high
Pizza man, pizza man, touch the sky
Pizza man, pizza man do you like cheese?
Pizza man, pizza man slap your knees!
Pizza man, pizza man, turn around
Pizza man, pizza man, sit back down!
Book: Ding Dong! Gorilla! (Have volunteer deliver pizza, but have the box be empty like the portrays.)
*I was hoping the preschoolers would have enjoyed this book more than they did, but this is still a really funny book to read aloud.

Action: Pizza Toppings
*For this I have two flannel pizzas and I will hand out pizza toppings. Sometimes I will call out for particular pizza toppings or instead of that I'll just ask the kids to come up and put their toppings up all at once. It just depends on the size of my crowd on that day.
*I don't know if you're familiar with the book "Pete's a Pizza" but throughout the book Pete is turned into a pizza by his dad! At the end of storytime, I like to turn the preschool kids into a pizza, just like Pete! So, I have all my toppings for the pizza cut out of construction paper and I will take the toppings and "sprinkle" them onto the preschoolers. I have included a picture below showing the mess that I have afterwards.
Our craft is a rabbit with his pizza! The inspiration for this was taken from a book called "Pizza Pig". This is a favorite pizza book of mine, but I didn't read it today. The preschoolers glued down the pizza slice, sauce, carrots and rabbit head and ears.

Book: Wolf’s Coming!
Action: Pizza Toppings
*For this I have two flannel pizzas and I will hand out pizza toppings. Sometimes I will call out for particular pizza toppings or instead of that I'll just ask the kids to come up and put their toppings up all at once. It just depends on the size of my crowd on that day.
*I don't know if you're familiar with the book "Pete's a Pizza" but throughout the book Pete is turned into a pizza by his dad! At the end of storytime, I like to turn the two's kids into a pizza, just like Pete! So, I have all my toppings for the pizza cut out of construction paper and I will take the toppings and "sprinkle" them onto the two's.
*The two's did the same craft as the preschoolers, which is pictured at the end of the preschool post above.
