Berries & Jam (Storytime)

 Opening: Big Books

Book: There Are No Bears in This Bakery

Fingerplay/Flannel: Jelly Sandwich 

*For this I made all the sandwich items to put on my flannelboard.  I wanted to add something to this, so I made splotches of purple and red.  Why?  Because I hold up the jelly jars and tell the kids we need to put jelly on our sandwich and then I pull out the splotch from the back of my jar.  I have a little pocket so it's hidden from sight.  Also, I like to use my scarf and wave it back and forth when we are spreading the items onto the bread.

Book: A Good Day for Hat

*Normally I use props with this storytime.  I have all the hats made that bear wears, and I tape bear to a box.  He's quite large..LOL  As bear changes his hat out during the story, I will replace the hat he's wearing.  Below is a picture of how I do the props for this one.
