Colors: Orange

 This week our theme is orange and cats.  Below are the books I read along with fingerplays and our crafts.  Do you have a favorite orange book?  I'd love to know about it, leave a comment please!

Book: It's a Tiger!

*I don't know why, but I am very grateful for this repsonse.  The kids went crazy over this book!  We had to "run" every time we saw the tiger, which might have made this more popular.  I even had two patrons wanting to check out this book, a great read aloud.

Book: This Book Just Stole My Cat!

Book: Old MacPumpkin Had a Farm

Book: Pumpkin Trouble

Board Book: Not a Pumpkin

Book: Cat's Colors

Fingerplays:

Ten little kittens stand in a row,

They bow their heads to the kids just so.

They run up high, they run down low.

They run real fast, they run real slow.

Along comes a puppy dog, 

looking for some fun.

Woof, woof, woof!  

Away those kittens run!

If you’re a cat and you know it, say meow!

If you’re a cat and you know it, say meow!

If you’re a cat and you know it, 

And your face will surely show it,

If you’re a cat and you know it, say meow!

Spin around

Scratch your claws

Jump up and down

Scarf Dancing:

Kitty cat, kitty cat sneaks out of the house.
Kitty cat, kitty cat creeps up to a mouse,
And… POUNCE!
Kitty cat, kitty cat, creeps up to a bird.
Kitty cat, kitty cat, is not even heard,
And… POUNCE!
But the mouse ran, and the bird flew away,
So kitty cat found a ball of yarn to play
And… POUNCE!
