One of the books I want to share is Doodle Bites: A Tilly and Friends Book by Polly Dunbar. This is a fun way to talk about 'no biting' and being forgiving. Another book that's not really a Valentine's book but is about love is The Secret by Lindsay Barrett George. The children always enjoy following the progress of Mr. Snail's secret from critter to critter until it reaches Mrs. Snail.
The week of Valentine's Day I'll be using Valentine Day books, One Heart: A Valentine Counting Book by Maryann Cocca-Leffler and Be Mine, Be Mine, Sweet Valentine by Sarah Weeks.
Here is one of the Valentine Flannel rhymes I'm planning on sharing at storytime:
Five Cupcakes for Valentine’s Day!
Five
cupcakes in the bakery shop
Vanilla
frosting with a heart on top
Along
came a boy with a penny one day
Bought
a cupcake and took it away
Yum!
Four
cupcakes in the ....
Three…
Two…
One
cupcake in the bakery shop
Vanilla
frosting with a heart on top
I
came along with a penny one day
Bought
that cupcake and took it away!
No
cupcakes in the bakery shop
Vanilla
frosting with a heart on top
Each
was bought to give away
To
a happy friend for Valentine’s Day!
I had been
wanting to make this really cute cupcake flannel set that I had seen on
Pinterest from Money Saving Mom. So when I saw this adorable rhyme from Jane at her blogspot Piper Loves the Library the
wheels started turning. I adapted the
rhyme a little and made these cupcakes for my Valentine storytime theme.
Can't wait to share the Fun with Friends at Storytime!
