Tales for 2's & 3's: Favorites & Doreen Cronin I

How is it April already?  Gah!  Only two more weeks of Tales fun then it's all over (sad panda).  

I like to end every storytime session with a month of my favorites.  Sometimes my favorite action rhymes and songs don't fit into a specific theme, so a "Favorites" theme allows me to incorporate them.

The big hits today were Wiggle by Doreen Cronin, Where's Mouse?, and the Shape of the Week.
Shape of the Week: Circle
Picture
Since this is a new month, I decided to try a shape of the week.  This was a HUGE hit!

I found these adorable shape posters from Teachers Pay Teachers.  I used the Circle poster to introduce today's shape of the day.

We practiced drawing circles in the air with our pinky, with our favorite finger, we also made big circles and teeny-tiny circles.

I found a really neat printable from Kidzone that I made copies of for the kids to take and color after storytime.

Flannel: Where is Mouse?
Picture
Sometimes a simple flannel is best.  I have been trying to use pieces from sets that I already created to try and get myself to think outside of the box.  I used the heart set I made for February and the mouse from my animal set I made in the fall.  I hid mouse behind the purple heart.  The kiddos loved this guessing game.
Puppets: Brown Bear, Brown Bear (adapted from book)

I thought it would be fun to trot out some of our puppets and do a spin on an old favorite.

Dance your fingers up, dance your fingers down
Dance your fingers to the side, dance them all around
Dance them on your shoulders, dance them on you head
Dance them on your tummy, and put them all to bed

Here we go looby loo, here we go looby light
Here we go looby loo, all on a Saturday night

I put my nose in, I take my nose out
I give my nose a shake, shake, shake
and turn myself around

Here we go looby loo, here we go looby light
Here we go looby loo, all on a Saturday night

I put my elbow in, I take my elbow out
I give my elbow a shake, shake, shake
and turn myself around

Here we go looby loo, here we go looby light

Here we go looby loo, all on a Saturday night

I put my belly in, I take my belly out
I give my belly a shake, shake, shake
and turn myself around

Here we go looby loo, here we go looby light

Here we go looby loo, all on a Saturday night

I put my bottom in, I take my bottom out
I give my bottom a shake, shake, shake
and turn myself around

Here we go looby loo, here we go looby light

Here we go looby loo, all on a Saturday night
