Color Toddler Storytime"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>I’m filling in for a 6-week session of the in-house baby and toddler storytimes at the Poplar Creek Public Library. This blog actually started when I was doing toddler storytimes in California, so I feel like I’m going back to my roots in a way. I’m excited to repeat some of my favorite storytimes, maybe tweaking them a bit to add in some new books or flannels. Back in the day, I didn’t post the order I did my stories, rhymes, and songs. So this time around, I’ll be sharing my actual plans.<\/p>\n

We started last Thursday with a fun Color theme. I loved meeting new friends, acting silly, and dancing with scarves. I’m already looking forward to next time!<\/p>\n

*Opening: The More We Get Together
\n*Rhyme: If You’re Wearing Red Today
\nBook: Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood
\n*Rhyme: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
\n**Flannel: Little Mouse House
\n*Rhyme: If You’re Happy and You Know It
\n***Visual Prop: Baa, Baa [insert color] Sheep & Sing “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” song
\nBook:\u00a0Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox
\nFlannel:\u00a0Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin
\nDancing Song (with scarves): \u201cDancing Scarf Blues\u201d from Carole Peterson: Dancing Feet

*Rhymes can be found on the August\/September 2018 Toddler Rhyme Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n

**Little Mouse, Little Mouse, Are you in the [insert color] house?
\n(Underneath different colored flannel houses, I place different flannel animals. Using a cat puppet, we go in search of the mouse flannel\u2026 This time, under the houses that didn’t have the mouse, I put all sheep flannels. That was pretty silly!)<\/p>\n

***Created “flash cards” of colorful sheep. One side of each card has a colored sheep. The other side of the card is blank… except the Black Sheep card. On back of Black Sheep card, there is an illustration of three bags. We chanted “Baa, Baa, [insert color] Sheep, have you any wool?” (Show side with colored sheep.) “No, sir, no, sir, no bags full.” (Show empty back side of card.) UNTIL you get to the Black Sheep. Then say, “Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.” (Show the illustration of the three bags.) We sang the traditional rhyme. Then, we counted the bags on the back of the card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
