Hot Dog Song

 

Years ago I posted a hot dog post HERE. I included a song I made up about making a hot dog to eat. Well, I finally got around to making some pieces to use as I sing the song. My plan is to add the pieces to the felt board as I sing the song and the finished hot dog at the end.  I found Google images for each item and printed them out, cut them out and laminated them and cut them out again.  I think this is an easy way to illustrate the song and then play, "Which One is Missing?" afterwards. Yep, hot dogs are so yummy and Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Pickles for My Picnic

It's summertime and picnics are on the schedule. I've done some other posts for PICNIC that needed one more fun activity! I have an interactive rhyme about a jar of pickles for our lunch.  I made a large jar shape and added the light grey lid shape with silver fabric paint. I made about 30 pickle circles with felt and used dark green fabric paint for the peel and white fabric paint for the seeds.  I can hand out the pickles and tell the kiddos to listen as I give a clue. I then say, "If you're wearing sandals today, bring up your pickle and add it to my jar.". I'll continue with different clues,  If your name starts with (say a letter); or if you have a dog for a pet... We'll celebrate together when the jar is full of pickles! Pickles are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
