Wet Dirt is Mud

Tales for Twos - Week 2 Summer 2013

As usual, we did our 5 Little Hot Dogs and our This is Big, Big, Big rhyme.

The two songs we use is the same this session- Shake Your Sillies Out and Octopus Song.

Books: Pete the Cat and Harry the Dirty Dog

I used this site to make a color activity to go along with the book.

I also made a large outline of Harry the Dirty Dog and as I read the story and Harry gets dirtier and dirtier, the children came up and put dirt spots on him.

Flannelboard:

Edible Craft: pudding and oreo cookie dirt cup with gummy worms

And Harry the Dirty Dog picture that they could make "dirty".

Summer Storytime Themes- Worms and Ants

At the Franklin Public Library, we have our Tales for Twos program (age 2 with an adult) and our Preschool Pretend & Play program (age 3-5 with an adult). This summer, I used the same themes each week for both programs and just changed the books and activities.

TT
In Tales for Twos, we concentrate on the number 5. So, we begin with a "5" song. In the past, we have used Alice the Camel, 5 Green & Speckled Frogs, 5 Little Ducks, etc. This session, we are using 5 Little Hot Dogs.

I use the rhyme "This is Big, Big, Big" from Mel's Desk.
Books: Ants and Bob and Otto
