I just realized I didn't have any mitten posts! So here you go. The mittens are for a color match rhyme activity. You can hand out pairs so that the kiddos bring up their matching mittens to make a pair. You can put up one color and the kiddo that has that color brings it up to make a pair. I have strung a yarn line and had the kiddos clothespin their mitten to the line (fine motor). There are any number of ways to play with these. Here's a couple of rhymes - Each Mitten Has a Mate or 10 Little Mittens Hanging on the Line. Here's a song I found MANY years ago. I don't know the tune but it's a cute chant as you put on a pair of mittens!
The Mitten Song
By
Marie Louise Allen
“Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!”
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather.
When it is cold,
It doesn’t matter whether
Mittens are wool,
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather;
“Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!”
Stay as toasty warm as you can in mitten weather! Mittens are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime.
