For the birds!

**Just a reminder, next week is the last Storytime for summer!**

THE PLAN

Playtime
We played with the nuts and bolts toy today.

Two Little Hands

We stretched out our limbs and shook out our wiggles before doing our rhyme.  See this post for our Two Little Hands rhyme.

All About Today

Friday's weather was warm and sunny!  

Read & Listen:

First we read Birds by Kevin Henkes.

Rhyme:

Action Rhyme: “Little Birds”

Little birds, little birds, jump up and down

Little birds, little birds, don’t make a sound

Little birds, little birds, tip-toe to me

Little birds, little birds, bend your knees

Little birds, little birds, peep, peep, peep

Little birds, little birds, sleep, sleep, sleep

Little birds, little birds, fly to the leaves

Little birds, little birds, sit down please

Read & Listen:

Then we read Feathers for Lunch by Lois Ehlert.

Activity:

We made bird puppets today!  Volunteers cut out a bird shape from heavy card stock, and we taped them to Popsicle sticks.  I had the kids color the birds, and then glue feathers on for wings!

Both are hard at work on their birds.

The finished product today.  Lots of cheeping as they were leaving the library!
