Last month my favorite story time theme was "shoes." I know you are thinking, "What an odd theme." However, with the books and music it came together perfectly.
The first book was " Dog in Boots" by Greg Gormley. A sweet retelling of Puss in Boots, but with a dog.
My second choice was the original "Pete the Cat" in his cool white Chucks by James Dean.
The third shoe book was "Shoe Dog" by Megan McDonald the author of the first Chapter "Stink" books.
After stories we put on our dancing shoes and I put on music. I got out scarves for the dancers and I blew bubbles. We all danced around. Even some of the moms got up and danced too.
I Can't Fly
My preschoolers LOVE doing this dance!
Before I start the music, I go through all the animal
movements so they will know what to expect.
Fly - or try to anyway...
Jump like a kangaroo
Run like a zebra
Climb like a monkey
Swim like a fish
Crawl like a lizard
Eat like an elephant
And, DANCE like you've never danced before!
