Mushrooms in the Rain

 


I have a new set of fingerpuppets to go with this adorable theme of mushrooms.  I already have a fun set HERE, but I can't leave anything alone lol.

                   One named Luther and one named Lorraine.

                   They stand in the rain and never complain!

We have 2 adorable books to use and we'll sing When I'm Feeling Up and play with the parachute! Mushrooms are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Let's Make Some Guacamole!

 


So we're prepping for Hispanic Heritage month coming soon and I wanted a felt set for Storytime so of course I thought of guacamole! Here's my rhyme, Let's Make Some Guacamole!  I had made the lemonade pieces a few months ago and never used them and thought they'd be perfect with my guac!  I used some Google images to make some patterns but free handed the tomato and chips. I used glitter glue to make my segments on the lime and slick paint for the salt and pepper shakers.  I made up a rhyme and we're ready for Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Berry Picking Time

 

Time to pick some berries!! 
Picked a Berry 
to the tune of Darling Clementine
Picked a strawberry, picked a strawberry that was growing in the sun.
Then I washed it, and I ate it. and I picked another one.

Change out blueberry, blackberry, raspberry and cherry as you pick them and pretend to eat them!
Here's another rhyme to use with the berries also.

Down in the Market
Down in the market at the end of the street, there are 5 ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay. She buys the cherry and takes it away!
4...raspberry; 3...strawberry; 2...blueberry; 1...blackberry.

This theme resonated with the kiddos. They all like berries and around here it's strawberry picking time and the blueberries will soon be ready. We also played 'Which one is missing?' with the berries. That's always a big hit! This is one of my favorite themes for Storytime! Check out my other posts about berries Here and Here.
Yummy berries are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Two Little Dinosaurs!

 


Here are my Two Little Dinosaurs for some dino fun!  There are so many cute dino books for this theme and many other ideas on the Flannel Friday Pinterest board. Since we like to end our storytimes with a Two Little... rhyme, I made these two for our dinosaur storytime.  I used a Google image that I deconstructed and simplified and used some googly eyes and fabric paint and we are ready for Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Life Cycle of a Butterfly!

   



We're planning for Spring story times and wanted to include a butterfly theme this year.  I saw this wonderful song and felt set Here and wanted to make my own. I made each piece about 6 to 8 inches.  I did tweak my butterfly to have lots of different colors and I'm ready to go!
