Storytime for 2 and 3 yr olds: Winter is Fun!

Today was the first 2 and 3 yr old story time of 2014. Although cold outside, we had some winter fun with a few stories ( Mouse's First Snow by Lauren Thompson, My Very First Look at Colors by Christiane Gunzi, and Snowball Fight by Jimmy Fallon). We also learned about color from the Color Birds and made a winter hat.

Here are some of the songs we did-

The Snowkey Pokey added 12-16-01 Original Author UnknownSung to: "Hokey Pokey"
You put your right mitten in,
you take your right mitten out,
you put your right mitten in
and you shake it all about.
You do the snowkey pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
Additional verses:
You put your left mitten in . . .
You put your right boot in . . .
You put your left boot in . . .
You put your hat in . . .
You put your snowself in . . .

Stir a bowl of gingerbread       (stir as in bowl)
Smooth and spicy brown

 
Roll  it with a rolling pin
up and up and down               (Pretend to roll)

 
With a cookie cutter,             ( pretend to cut out)
make some little men.

 
Put them in the oven             ( place in oven)
till half past ten!
