It's Spring! Preschool Storytime

I finally got used to doing an "all ages" storytime and now I have been switched back to Preschool Storytime.  It was a lot of fun with a good size crowd!
Books

Spring is Here!
by Will Hillenbrand

What Does Bunny See?
by Linda Sue Park; illustrated by Maggie Smith

Magnet Board/Songs

Hello Springtime!
(magnet board)

Hello springtime
Hello springtime
Hello springtime
We're glad you're here today!

I give clues to children to guess what we will sing about next.  Such as "in the winter the ground is covered in white snow, but in the springtime there is now..."

Blue Sky
Green Grass
Sunshine
Raindrops
Rainbow
Bluebird
Butterfly
Bunny

Last verse: Springtime


I Can Walk on Two Feet

I can walk on two feet
On two feet, on two feet
I can walk on two feet
All day long.

Run
March
Tiptoe
Jump
Hop on 1 foot

Last verse: Walk

There's Something in My Garden
(magnet board)
There’s something in my garden,
Now what can it be?
There’s something in my garden
That I can't really see.
Hear its funny sound….
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
A frog is what I found!
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit

Mouse (squeak-squeak-squeak)
Bird (tweet-tweet-tweet)
Bumblebee (buzz-buzz-buzz)

Rabbit (thump-thump-thump)
