S is for Shapes All Around


Preschool Storytime:


Opening: Big Books

Book: Circle Rolls 
*I really like this book and the preschoolers enjoyed it, but not as much as I had hoped. Maybe you just need to be closer to it and be able to see the illustrations better? I do have to say on one page there is a fire engine drawn on and one adorable little boy saw that right away and got so excited!

Fingerplay: Kangaroo, kangaroo, behind which shape are you?

Board Book: Animal Shapes
*This is the first time I've used this book in storytime and I'm so glad I did! You get to guess what each animal is. For example, what does a triangle and a bird make? A flyangle! You can see on the cover above what each animal will turn out like. I think the parents enjoyed this just as much or even more than the kids did! I also fed shapes to each of my puppets which delighted the kids.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Shape Guessing Game
*For this I made lots of shapes for the kids to guess what food was on the other side. I used the book below for ideas. The kids loved this!

Action: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Our craft is an alligator made out of shapes!
