Storytime for 2 and 3 yr olds: Warm Winter Hearts

Today was the first 2 and 3 yr old story time of 2014. Although cold outside, we had some winter/pre- Valentine's Day  fun with a few stories ( Winter is the Warmest Season by Lauren Stringer, The Color Box by Dayle  Ann Dodds, and A Kiss Means I Love You  by Kathryn Allen). We also learned about color from the Color Birds and made a snowman with hearts.

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 . . .
