\"\"<\/a>It’s been a while since I’ve done a toddler-only storytime. Today, I met some new friends at a local daycare.<\/p>\n

Opening: If You Want to Hear a Story
\nBook: Today is Monday by Eric Carle
\nFingerplay: Apples
\n*Prop Visual: The Colors We Eat On Thanksgiving
\nFingerplay: Sausages

\nSong: \u201cI Feel Crazy so I Jump in the Soup\u201d<\/p>\n

Schools visited: Little Bear Academy<\/p>\n

*One of my co-workers made a great visual (see photo). The turkey’s stomach circle is clear, so you can put colored sheets of paper in a pocket behind the stomach. I used small squares of different colored construction paper. On one side of the paper, I put a photo of a Thanksgiving food that was the the color of the paper. (The other side was blank, just that color.) Here are the words (food) to go with the visual:
\nTHE COLORS I EAT ON THANKSGIVING
\nI eat many colors on Thanksgiving\u2026
\nThe turkey is\u2026 (brown)
\nThe corn is\u2026 (yellow)
\nThe beans are\u2026 (green)
\nThe pumpkin pie is\u2026 (orange)
\nThe cranberries are\u2026 (red)
\nThe potatoes are\u2026 (brown) When I peel the potatoes and make mashed potatoes, they are\u2026 (white)
\nSo many colors I eat on Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
