Farm!

My story time theme was "Farm" today! We read:

Clip-Clop by Nicola Smee
A classic favorite of mine that works well for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

Old MacDonald Had a Truck by Steve Goetz
A fun twist on the traditional song. Instead of cows and sheep, Old MacDonald has an excavator and a steam roller!


Farm Songs:

Down on Grandpa's Farm (I used puppets)


Farm Rhyme:

Five Little Eggs

Five little eggs and
Five little eggs
That you see makes ten
Sitting on top is the Mother Hen
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
What do you see?
Ten fluffy chickens!
Yellow as can be



A few weeks ago, we were bombarded by teens needing volunteer work. In desperation to keep them busy I said, "Come up with a cute farm craft that preschoolers could do." They came up with this cow hat, which turned out great.
