Time for Two’s:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: 10 Fat Turkeys
*I love to read this story to the two's, because it's so much fun to see their reaction! You count down from ten turkeys to zero as you read this story. While I'm reading, my volunteer takes down a turkey from the puppet stage behind me. It took a few turkeys disappearing before the two's realized what was happening, but they loved doing the wiggling along with me in the book! This is great to help counting down with your numbers and it has a very cute repetitive phrase all throughout the book also.
Puppets: Feeding Animals
*Bear-Honey, Mouse-Cheese, Elephant-Peanuts, Cow-Grass, Cat-Milk, Pig-Apple
Fingerplay/Flannel: Turkey, Turkey
Turkey, turkey, come and play.
What color house are you in today?
Board Book: Where is Baby’s Turkey?
Action: Turkey Feathers
*We ended storytime with this fun flannelboard. You can make this a great learning activity by calling out for each colored feather. I have included a picture below of the turkey and his feathers.
The craft for our storytime is a shape turkey! I have to say, we have some very cute turkeys!

Preschool Storytime:
Book: 10 Fat Turkeys (Special guest doing ASL)
*Normally I get a much bigger reaction out of the preschoolers when I do this, but we only had 10 preschoolers today, so that will tend to dampen the reaction sometimes. I have ten turkeys propped up behind me while I'm reading, and my volunteer will take one down as I read. I have a picture below showing all my turkeys!
*Bear-Honey, Mouse-Cheese, Elephant-Peanuts, Cow-Grass, Cat-Milk, Pig-Apple
Book: Dragons Love Tacos (Use Novelist App)
*I don't know if you've heard of the Novelist App, but it's amazing!!! This is the first time I've used it in storytime and I was so excited to use it with this book. Unfortunately, the kids didn't enjoy the sound effects. I did have two little boys that adored hearing the dragon sounds. I think if I had a bigger crowd they would have enjoyed hearing all the sound effects much better. I definitely plan on using this app again in storytime, I highly recommend it. It is utterly amazing!

Book: Bad Kitty Does Not Like Thanksgiving
*This book worked out wonderfully! I had little paper cut-outs of the food to throw out onto the preschoolers. Why? Because bad kitty ends up pulling all the food off the table. Every time that happens I throw out the paper food onto the preschoolers.
*The craft for today was the same one that the two's did. A cute shape turkey!!! We also had games today and you can check out all that we played here!
