Prickly, Stinky Story Time

Openers:
Oh Hey, Oh Hi!
Snowflake Stretch
Snowball Fun

Porcupining (Lisa Wheeler) 3-5
Will porcupine ever find a partner?  He makes a few enemies before he finds Ms. right.

Song:  Prickly Little Porcupine 







The Seals on the Bus (Lenny Hort) 2-4
A take-off of the ever-popular song, Wheels on the Bus, this animal adventure turns...a...little...sour... Find out what happens to make the passengers race off the bus.

FP:  The Little Skunk




Yummy Yucky (Leslie Patricelli) 2-4
In a personal favorite mine,  Patricelli explores the various things we eat...alongside a few we certainly should not.  Toddlers LOVE telling which things they shouldn't eat and readily participate in this silly book of the tasteful, and distasteful side of toddlerhood.

Song:  Sticky, Sticky Bubblegum










Magnet Board:  Who's that Hiding in the Woods?
Closer:
Wave Goodbye
