Preschool Pretend and Play

I Can Do It Myself! My LLFs are becoming big boys and girls and are learning do so many things by themselves! We counted, we sang our ABCs, we jumped and talked about getting dressed and more! They sure are special!

We read I Can Do It Too! by Karen Baicker, I Can Do It Myself by Diane Adams and How Do I Put It On by Shigeo Watanbe. We jumped and counted with Jim Gill and put togetther body puzzles with our grown-ups.

Preschool Pretend & Play- Noses & Toes

We started off dancing our toesies off to Gimme Back My Toes by Mr. Richard.

We read these books....
Who Needs that Nose? by Karen Clemens
Whose Toes are Those? by Joyce Elias
Long-Nosed Pig
Whose Nose and Toes? by John Butler
Hello Toes, Hello Feet by Ann Whitford Paul
We also touched our toes to our nose with this little ditty:
Hap Palmer- Touch your toes to your nose
Instead of our real toes this time, we used toes on a stick!
But everyone should go home, take off their socks and shoes and try the song with their real toes!

Tales for Twos (Age 2 with an adult)

This week was Babies on the Go!

We started off with our 5 Little Ducks/Ducks Like Rain Songs, then did our This is Big rhyme.

We read Can you Make a Scary Face? by Jan Thomas, Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman, We've All Got Bellybuttons! by David Martin, Toddlerobics by Zita Newcome.

We made slippery fish with the Octopus Song by Charlotte Diamond.

And we had a special time playing with all the new toys!

Our last Tales for Twos for the year is in two weeks. I will have ducks for you to take home to practice our song, sheets with the lyrics/cd titles of our songs and more so you can keep having fun at home during the holiday break!
