Song & Puppet: “Flutter, Flutter” (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle) Then, I used our Folkmanis butterfly finger puppets to do this song: The kids really enjoyed this one, I think because of the vibrant colors (they were quick to point out any orange on the page) but also because of the size of the book and the size of the pages.
A lot of other butterfly books are wonderful, but they don’t feature Monarchs as much as I wanted them to. I was SO happy to find this book because it features Monarch butterflies, which are orange. Next, a last minute find in the orange category, “Waiting for Wings” by Lois Ehlert. Īnd out cam the kitty calling, “Meow, meow.” “Come Kitty, come Kitty, this milk is for you. So, after reading about Tippy-Toes, I led the group in a little kitten fingerplay:Ī kitten is fast asleep under the chair Īnd I can’t find her anywhere. I tried to match activities with books, instead of doing a bunch of color extensions. This was an instant attention grabber and the kids eagerly stayed with the book until the sleepy ending. Tippy-Toes’s bright orange fur gave me the perfect opportunity for this week. I first saw this book in one of Sarah’s Storytime Contenders posts and immediately put it on a list that I keep of books that I want to incorporate into a storytime one day. Started off storytime with “Where Is Tippy-Toes?” by Betsy Lewin.
(They missed a week and didn’t call to let me know they were still interested in coming.) But a librarian is ALWAYS prepared to go. The second color in my colors storytime cycle: orange! ( Red can be found here.) I have to admit I was a little frazzled because I did not know my group was coming.
