Wiggle Worms: Valentine! 2-12-13

It's been a while...  I have been helping out with storytimes at another branch which has really slowed down my blogging but today my kiddos were so much fun that I had to post!

Mr. Bear
Mr. Bear has been wearing his "Bee Mine" outfit in preparation for Valentine's Day

 

Animal Puppet Song: "Old MacDonald" from the Wiggleworms album.  Gotta love that tickle bug at the end.

Letter of the Day: Ll for ladybug (or love bug or love bird)

Rhymes

"Two Little Love Birds"

Two little love birds sitting on a  hill
One named Jack
and one named Jill
Fly away, Jack
Fly away, Jill
Come back, Jack
Come back, Jill

(Other verses)
Cloud / Quiet / Loud

Snow / Fast / Slow

Finger puppets are easy to make at home

Kisses:

All Kinds of Kisses by Nancy Tafuri. There are so many kinds of (noisy) kisses, but the best kiss is from someone who loves you!  This is one of my top 5 books for babies and toddlers.

After all those animal kisses, we blew some kisses to this family on the flannel board.  As the kids blew a kiss, Miss Michelle or I slapped a big kiss on the family member. http://storytimesecrets.blogspot.com/2012/01/flannel-friday-valentines-day.html

 

But it got really fun when we "blew" kisses too all the kids (stickers below)!!

Love Bugs:

Under the heart:  Under the blue heart is a purple heart. Under the purple heart is a green heart. Under the green heart is a pink heart.  Under the pink heart is a red heart.  Under the red heart is a .... Love Bug!

 

 

Just in time!.... We flew around the room with love bugs (plush rattles with scarves tied to them) while the song "Love Bug" played:

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day, little love bugs!
