Let's Read About Pets! Toddler Lap Time, 1/31/13
We had a hugely successful toddler time this morning!
Book: Are You a Cow? by Sandra Boynton
The kids loved saying "Nooo" over and over again to the different questions. The parents loved the sweet ending.
Song with Puppet: I’m a Little Green Frog
Book: Oink, Moo, Meow by Sterling Publishing Company
This book is so simple and straightforward, and I love that about it. Some of the kids knew many of the common animal sounds and giggled over the lesser known ones, such as the wolf pup and sea lion.
Song with Puppets: Do You Know the Little Dog?
Book: Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell
Song: I'm a Little Teapot
Song: Hands Up High
This was a new one, and it was just right for this age group. We'll be using it again.
Song: Here We Go Up Up Up
Songs with Shaker Eggs:
This is the first time we've used shaker eggs since the new lap time sessions have begun. The kids had a lot of fun, and I think this combination of songs is the best one I've used. I'll probably use these every other week, and work up to switching off with bubbles and the parachute.
Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Song: Itsy Bitsy Spider
Song: Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
I use the same hello and goodbye songs at almost every session. Click here for the tunes and words. For descriptions of each of my story times, click here.
