Squirrels are Ready for Fall!

 

I've got a new set to use this fall for acorns and squirrels.  I've posted before Here and Here. I already had the squirrels but I added these new bigger acorns and a new rhyme! Down Around the Corner.

We're having Fun with Friends at Storytime with fall squirrels and acorns!!

Time for Fall Leaves.

 

It's that time of year! I have another Fall post here but I realized I really don't have any fall leaves posts. so here goes!  I usually hand out the small colored leaves to the kiddos and then I use the big leaves as a visual cue for the color in the rhyme.  If your group is too big for them to come add their leaf to the flannel board then they can stand and twirl their leaves as you sing that color in the rhyme.  

*Brown Leaves*

*Brown leaves, brown leaves all around,

twirling, swirling to the ground.

see them dancing through the air,

see them falling everywhere.

Brown leaves, brown leaves, all around, twirling, swirling to the ground.

*Red   *Orange   *Yellow   *Fall (all leaves)

when their color is called the kiddos stand up and twirl and swirl their leaf through the air and then sit down. Last verse all children stand up and do the motions with their leaves.  You can use the green leaves and add that color verse if you want to.  I usually don't use the green ones.  Fall leaves are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Two Little Acorns

 

I'm gearing up for fall and wanted to add a 'two little' set and these fill the ticket!  

Two Little Acorns ready to fall

One is Penelope and one is Paul.

Jump down Penelope. Jump down Paul!

Bounce high Penelope. Bounce high Paul!

Two little acorns had a big fall.

One named Penelope and one named Paul!

I used several shades of brown felt and some glitter glue and fabric paint and the cute googly eyes.  I used an image from Google and just deconstructed it for my pattern.  Easy Peasy! They are mighty cute! Fall and acorns are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
