We were talking turkey today in toddler time, with Jim Arnosky's I'm A Turkey! Extend this book at home with this fingerplay from everythingpreschool.com:
Mr. Turkey
Mr. Turkey's tail is big and wide (spread fingers wide),
He swings it when he walks (move fingers around),
His neck is long (stand on tip toes and stretch neck and head up),
His chin is red (stroke chin),
And he gobbles when he talks(open and close hands while gobbling)
We also read Nancy Tafuri's The Busy Little Squirrel. Squirrel was getting ready for winter, and he was so busy! Maybe your toddler can help you get ready too. Tafuri is a great author for toddlers, and you'll find many of her titles in the picture book section.
If you haven't yet filled out a storytime evaluation, see the link under the November 8 posting.
I'll be looking forward to the start of regular storytimes again in January. In the meantime, be sure to check out the programs we have in December.
Happy Holidays everyone!
