There was a lot of programming going on last week, so when it came time to plan a Theme Thursday I was at a loss. I settled on "Hands and Feet" but as I was going through books and songs quickly came to the conclusion that there was plenty of material for a story time all about shoes and a surprising number of books about white shoes that turn different colors.
Song: Good Morning Dear Earth
Flannel: Little Mouse
Flannel: Alphabet Soup- SHOE
Book: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes
by Eric Litwin
Action Rhyme: Criss Cross, Line, Line
Song: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Rhyme: Old Shoes, New Shoes
Old shoes, new shoes,
Black and brown and red shoes,
1,2,3,4,
They're tapping softly on the floor
Book: Big Fat Hen
by Keith Baker
Song: Grand Old Duke of York
Song: I've Got Two Shoes
(to the tune of Skip to my Lou)
I've got two shoes, how 'bout you?
I've got two shoes, how 'bout you?
I've got two shoes, how 'bout you?
Tap your shoes like I do
touch, walk, run, jump
Action Rhyme: Big, Big, Big
Poem: I Had a Little Turtle
Book/Flannel: Baby Shoes
by Dashka Slater
Song: Turn Around from Getting to Know Myself
Make and Take Craft: Dream Shoes
When in doubt, hand out glitter glue and stickers.
Supplies:
-shoe outline
-crayons
-glitter glue
-stickers
Process: After story time I handed out pieces of construction paper with a basic shoe outline drawn on it. I laid out the glitter glue, stickers and crayons and let the kids design their dream shoes. I had been working on the scrapbooks from our Teddy Bear Sleepover right up until story time started, so this wasn't my best or most exciting craft but it worked in a pinch.
Time: Prep took 5 minutes, including the time it took hitting the printer to try and make it work on construction paper. The craft took about 20 minutes.
