T is for Toys and Teddy Bears!

What's more fun than toys and teddy bears?!

Books

Too Many Toys  by David Shannon

This book was "perfect" but a bit long.  I summarized the negation between Spencer and his mom so it wasn't so long.  "Spencer did not want to give up any of his toys!  But he knew his mother meant business so he made a deal with his mom that he would give away some of his toys, if he could be the one to choose which ones to keep…the ones he loved the best."

Where's My T-R-U-C-K?  by Karen Beaumont;  illustrated by David Catrow


Songs/Rhymes/Fingerplays

Teddy
There was a boy who had a bear and Teddy was his name-o
T-E-D-D-Y, T-E-D-D-Y, T-E-D-D-Y
And Teddy was his name-o!

There was a boy who had a bear and Teddy was his name-o
T-E-D-D-(clap), T-E-D-D-(clap), T-E-D-D-(clap)
And Teddy was his name-o!

There was a boy who had a bear and Teddy was his name-o
T-E-D-(clap)-(clap), T-E-D-(clap)-(clap), T-E-D-(clap)-(clap)
And Teddy was his name-o!

Continue singing taking one letter away from the end each verse until you have five claps

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn around
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the ground
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear dance on your toes
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch your nose
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear reach up high
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the sky
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear bend down low
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch your toe.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear jump up now
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear take a bow!

Teddy Bear Hug
Do you have a moment please
To give this bear just one small squeeze?
'Cuz teddy bears need hugs to live
So don't you have just one to give?

Teddy Bear Counting Book


Just a little six page book I made in Word.  A title page and each page had one simple sentence, "I see ___ teddy bears."  (1-5)  The children put the correct number of teddy bears stickers on each page.
