Toddler Time 5/20

   This was the last session of Spring Toddler Time. I usually take about a 6 week break until Early Literacy Summer Reading story time. This week's theme was bugs/caterpillars. We had a good turnout. These are the books we read:

Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (I had a nice flannelboard set for this book that I inherited (picture below
Ten Wriggly Wiggly Caterpillars by Debbie Tarbett

Here is the flannelboard set:

 

 These are the songs we did:

1. Hello Everyone

2. Shake Shake Your Hands

3. Flutter, Flutter Butterfly
Flutter, flutter, Butterfly
Sung to: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Flutter, flutter, butterfly.
Floating in the summer sky.
Floating by for all to see,
Floating by so merrily.
Flutter, flutter, butterfly,
Floating in the summer sky.

4. Bumblebee, Bumblebee

Action Rhyme: “Bumblebee, Bumblebee”
Bumblebee, bumblebee, landing on my nose.
Bumblebee, bumblebee, now he’s on my toes.
On my arms, on my legs, on my elbows.
Bumblebee, bumblebee he lands and then he goes.

5. Ants Go Marching (first 5 verses)

Ants Came Marching

The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants came marching one by one
The little one stopped to suck his thumb.
They all go marching down around the town.
Boom, Boom, Boom.

The ants came marching two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants came marching two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants came marching two by two
The little one stopped to tie his shoe.
They all go marching down around the town.
Boom, Boom, Boom.

Other Verses:
The ants came marching three by three...
The little one stopped to climb a tree.

The ants came marching four by four....
The little one stopped to shut the door....

The ants came marching five by five...
The little one stopped to take a dive...
