Q is for Quack and Count (Preschool and Two's)
Preschool Storytime:
Book: Step by Step
*This is such a fun guessing book to use in storytime. The preschoolers did really good in telling me what animal made the footprints.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Baby Duck, Baby Duck Hiding Game

Book: Seek and Count
*I was so excited to use this book in storytime, but the preschoolers weren't as excited as I was about it. Sometimes it happens and that's okay, but I will definitely give it another try with them.
Fingerplay: Ten Little Froggies (Only do five and use five green and speckled frogs prop)
One little froggie goes hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop so...
Two little froggies go hop, hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop
Three little froggies go hop, hop, hop
Along comes another and they just can't stop. soo
Continue in this manner and end as follows
Ten little froggies go hop, hop, hop, hop hop
Drop! time to stop
Hop each time you count the froggies...and when you get to ten hop ten
times and count on fingers...fall gently down to floor
Dancing: Animal Dancing
*To end storytime I passed out two types of animals that I have cut out and laminated. After we danced around with them, I called out for each animal and we stuck them to my flannelboard.
Our craft is a duck, of course! I wanted to incorporate letters or numbers, so we spelled out quack and the preschoolers did amazing matching up the letters.

Farmyard Fun (Two's Only)
Time for Two’s Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: Pete the Cat: Five Little Ducks
*The two's love seeing items disappear behind me, so with this book I had the five little ducks propped up on my puppet stage. I like that this book also incorporates counting down from five to one.
Fingerplay: Farm Animal Action Cards
Fingerplay/Flannel: Barn Hiding Game
*This time our little mouse was hiding behind one of our barns.
Book: Peek-a-Moo
Fingerplay: Five Little Umbrellas
Five Umbrellas stood by the back door
The {animal} took the red one, and then there were four.
Four umbrellas pretty as can be,
The {animal} took the blue one, and then there were three.
Three umbrellas with nothing to do
TThe {animal} took the yellow one, then there two.
Two umbrellas stood watching for the sun
The {animal} took the pink one, and then there was one.
Just one umbrella alone in the hall
The {animal} took the orange one, and that was all.

The craft for storytime was the letter D for Duck!

*I apologize, I forgot to take a picture of our craft, but you can check out where we found it above.
Splish, Splash, Spring! (Preschool Only)
Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Book: Ducks Away!
*Today we had our volunteer doing ASL while I read this book. The best part? When he made duck noises! While I read, my volunteer propped up five ducks behind me. This way, the ducks could jump into the water as I was reading.
Fingerplay: “Little Duck, Little Duck”
Little duck, little duck, jump up and down.
Little duck, little duck, don’t make a sound.
Little duck, little duck, tip-toe to me.
Little duck, little duck, slap your knees. (or bend your knees.)
Little duck, little duck, jump up and down.
Little duck, little duck, turn around
Little duck, little duck,sit back down.
Book: Move Over, Rover!
*I love using all the puppets that go along with this book, and my favorite thing to do is put them inside my doghouse! The best part is when they all go flying out of the doghouse at the very end! So much fun!
Flannel: Little Cloud Hiding Game
Book: Ants Go Marching
*The preschoolers liked this but not near as much as I had hoped. I think it was just too much with the music playing, me holding up the book, and having little props (ants) pop up behind me. Next time, I won't show the book, instead I'll just do music and props. The preschoolers did love doing all the actions and being sprayed by water!
Fingerplay: “Five Beautiful Flowers” (Feed flowers to five puppets)
Five beautiful flowers just outside my door,
{Monkey} came and picked a flower and now there are four.
Four beautiful flowers, two and two you see.
{Alligator} came and picked a flower and now there are three.
Three beautiful flowers, but before I knew,
{Frog} came and picked a flower and now there are two.
Two beautiful flowers in the noonday sun.
{Elephant} came and picked a flower and now there’s just one.
One beautiful flower standing all alone,
{Alligator} came and picked the last one and now there are none.
