I am losing one of my two preschool storytimes, but gaining a Toddler Storytime! I haven't done much with toddlers, so I am super excited for this new adventure! I'm trying a "theme" series, so we'll see how that goes. (Nov 14-Dec 19)
Week 1
Mouse Mess
by Linnea Riley
Hi, Pizza Man!
by Virginia Walter; illustrated by Ponder Goembel
*Hooray!
At storytime we have __________ today!
We're so glad let's shout "hooray!"

My Puppet
My new puppet for Toddler Storytime is a Monkey
My monkey is looking all around
My monkey can turn round and round
My monkey is sleeping in his bed
My monkey is sitting on my head!
My monkey is looking at my toes
My monkey can kiss you on the nose!
My monkey is whispering in my ear
What's he saying? Can you hear?
My monkey can hide behind me
But wherever I go my monkey will find me!
If You're Happy and You Know It
with scarves
Shake it high
Shake it low
Shake it fast
Shake it slow
Little Miss Muffet
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Flannel
*One Bright Scarf
One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow
Wiggle it high
Wiggle it low
Shake it fast
Shake it slow
Hide it behind your back
Where'd it go?

Five Little Apples
5 little apples picked from a tree
The 1st one said, "I'm as red as red can be!"
The 2nd one said, "I'm sweet and juicy and round!"
The 3rd one said, "I'm the best that can be found!"
The 4th one said, "I'm ready for some spices!"
The 5th one said, "We'll be cut into slices!"
Someone from the kitchen picked them up
And we know why...
Five little apples became an apple pie!
