Tulips in a Row

 

I wanted a new flower set when I do a Flower theme at Storytime  When I ran across a sweet rhyme about 5 Little Tulips on Pinterest I had to make it! 

5 little tulips in the meadow grew.  "Hmmm, I said, "I bet they smell pretty too!"
So I bent down to sniff, but they tickled my nose!
Ah-ah-choo! Oh no! Away 1 flower blows.
repeat with 4,3,2, and 1.

I used a simple Google image to deconstruct to make my colorful tulips.  I did hot glue the leaf to the flower so it wouldn't be floppy.  Tulips make me happy!

Flowers in Springtime

 


It's Springtime and I am ready for flowers!! All the colors!!  I made a new set to use when I read, What Does Bunny See? by Linda Sue Park.  I plan on placing each flower on the felt board as I read that color page.  I am especially in love with the tiger lily and pink water lily. We can play, Which One is Missing? with this colorful set!  This was a tedious set to make but it turned out better than I hoped!  Flowers are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime.

Two Little Bunnies (fingerpuppets)

 


Here's a new fingerpuppet set in time for our spring bunny theme at storytime!

Two bunnies in the garden. The farmer shouts, "Stop!"
One bunny is Hippity and the other is Hop.
Hurry away Hippity! Hurry away Hop!
(the farmer left, let's call them back)
Come back Hippity! Come back Hop!
Two bunnies in the garden. The farmer shouts, "Stop!"
One bunny is Hippity and the other is Hop!

Here's the link for the other bunny posts I have made,  Bunny  Bunnies are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

What color will Selena wear today?

We're doing a 'Getting Dressed' theme this week at Storytime and I wanted to use my little girl with the colorful wardrobe! This is Selena and she loves fashion...lol.  I start off with her in her nightgown and slippers as she begins to try on one colorful dress after another.  I do have a little rhyme to coordinate the whole activity.  Here she is with her many outfits to choose from.

(change the color dress as you say the rhyme)

What Color Shall I Wear Today?

Good morning, Selena, it's time to get dressed!  
Let's choose a color that we like the best.
How about a red, orange, green, or yellow dress? 
Maybe a purple, or blue, or a pretty flower dress?
Selena tried on her dresses one by one.
Now, she's ready to play and ready for fun!

                                  

I really enjoyed making all of Selena's outfits with their embellishments! Getting Dressed for our day is so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Five Sugar Cookies! Yum!


Here's a variation of the Five Christmas Cookies rhyme for a baking theme at Storytime! I have a large (4") circle diecut for my sizzix machine and I just freehand cut out the 'frosting' shapes and added some white glitter glue "sugar".   As always the different colors will lend them to be used in a 'Which one is missing?' game after the rhyme.  Easy Peasy!  I have other posts for Cookies  and for Baking.  Yummy cookies are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
