V is for Valentine's Day (Preschool and Two's)

Preschool Storytime:


Opening: Big Books


Book: Love From the Crayons

*If you haven't read this book yet, I highly recommend it! While the message may be simple, the crayons will melt your heart. I used puppets and had them deliver the crayons to me. Then I placed my crayons inside my box which I had on the flannelboard.



Fingerplay/Flannel: Lovebug Hiding Game
Love bug, love bug, are you hiding under the {red} rug?
*Changed words from below.


Fingerplay/Flannel: Color Valentine’s
       Valentine, valentine, heart so yellow, wiggle around like a happy fellow!
        Valentine, valentine, heart so red, stomp your feet, then pat your head!
        Valentine, valentine, heart so green, clap your hands so you’ll be seen!
        Valentine, valentine, heart so blue, put your hands on your shoes.
    Valentine, valentine, time to hop, keep on going until I say STOP!


Book: Dinosaur Kisses




Fingerplay: 5 Valentines
*I have no idea where this came from, but I've taken pictures so hopefully can see the adorable rhymes.



*Today we had two games set out for the preschoolers to play. Love monster putt-putt and feed the party animals bean bag toss. We had a very good crowd, so I was a little hesitant to do games along with the craft and food. Thankfully everything went very smoothly and the preschoolers loved it all! Below is a picture of the craft.

Time for Two’s:



Opening: Big Books


Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story


Book: Do Crocs Kiss?

*The two's normally enjoy this kind of book, but for whatever reason they went crazy over this book! I'm very grateful for this reaction because I love it when they can help me make all the animal noises and recognize the animals in the book also.

Book: Love and Kisses
Love and Kisses
*This is the first time I've used this book and I really thought the two's would love it. I had my volunteer use the puppets and each time she would pop up a puppet behind me, I would place a kiss on each puppet. I think at this point the two's were just too riled to listen to anything. They were ready to party! We were having our Valentine party, so we had games and food waiting on them.
