Hooray for Moms! After storytime today, we made a flower craft. We used green popsicle sticks, paper flower\/leaf cut-outs and homemade green playdough. We made little flowers, and then stuck them inside a small cup using the playdough. I’ll include the recipe down below. My first batch turned out great…but the next two batches were too sticky…hmm. I used a different bag of flour for the last 2, so I am wondering if a certain type of flour works better for this particular recipe. (There are a few different no-cook and cooking recipes searchable via the Web.)<\/p>\n
I also wanted to let everyone know that the rhymes that we use each week (the ones on the sheets that I pass out) are now available on this site. They’re listed as “Toddler Storytime Rhymes” under Pages on the sidebar. I hope to eventually include some sound recordings of some of the rhymes as well.<\/p>\n
Nursery Rhyme of the Week: Stories Shared: Rhymes (Can be found on Toddler Tales Rhymes sheet. Extra copies available at the Library.): Bonus Rhyme: Music: Playdough: Mix dry ingredients with oil. Add food coloring to water and mix together. Add water to flour\/salt\/oil mixture slowly (about 1\/4 cup at a time) and mix together with a spoon. Once you’ve added all the water, knead the dough with your hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hooray for Moms! After storytime today, we made a flower craft.
