P is for Presents

December Outreach Storytime to Welcome School (since they are a private preschool I had the liberty to actually do "Christmas")

Books

One Snowy Night by M. Christina Butler; illustrated by Macnaughton

Ten Little Christmas Presents by Jean Marzollo

Pip and Squeak by Ian Schoenherr

Song/Rhymes/Fingerplays

A quick song I made up to go along with the book "Ten Little Christmas Present" and to emphasize giving a gift (instead of just receiving)

1 little, 2 little, 3 little presents
4 little, 5 little, 6 little presents
7 little, 8 little, 9 little presents
10 little presents

I made a present for you
I made a present for you
I made a present for you
And you and you and you!

Hope you like the present I made you
Hope you like the present I made you
Hope you like the present I made you
It is from my heart!


Winter's in the Air  (Action cards from oopseydaisyblog)
(Sung to 1 little, 2 little, 3 little...)

Twist, twist, twist like a candy cane
Twist, twist, twist like a candy cane
Twist, twist, twist like a candy cane
Winter's in the air!

Run like the gingerbread man

March like a nutcracker

Twinkle like a star

Twirl like a snowflake

Melt like a snowman
