Picnic Time!

I love this book, but this time it seemed a little long to hold the attention of the kids.

This book was delightful!  The kids loved identifying the animals and food.

3 little pandas eating bamboo, 
They chomp, chomp, chomped and chew, chew, chewed;
One little panda rolled away,
But two furry pandas decided to stay.

Apples

Storytime #1:

Opening: Big Books

Fingerplay: Apples
I love apples, they are so sweet!
Let's find a red apple so we can eat!
*For this I hold up different colored apples so that the kids can tell me I have the wrong apple.  Eventually I will get to the "red" apple.


Book: Hungry Bunny













Fingerplay: Worm Hiding Game
Little worm, little worm, where can you be?
Let's find you on the count of three!
*For this game, I made three different colored apples that you can open up and see what's inside.  I think the kids most enjoyed seeing the pineapple inside one of the apples!


Book: Farmyard Beat












Fingerplay: If You Like to Eat an Apple
If you like to eat an apple, clap your hands. (Repeat)
If you like to eat an apple, lick your lips and make 'em smackle.
If you like to eat an apple, clap your hands.
