Look And See Storytime
Scott Bahlmann
Opening: Shake My Sillies Out – Raffi
Book: Duck! Rabbit! – Amy Krouss Rosenthal
(This was a great book to do with a partner ...though I've used it myself before. Fun concept and we let the kids vote about what the thought the picture was at the end.)
Activity: Why the Frog Has Big Eyes –
from the book by Betsy Franco
(See the full version here)
(A fun visual element for this story, the animals can look around and blink!)
Book: I Spy With My Little Eye – Edward Gibbs
(Awesome big bright illustrations, and a guessing game make this great for storytime.)
Activity: Matching Game
(We passed out colored shapes, and then had the kids hold up the match to whatever we called out. A great way to engage them and get some wiggles out.)
Book: In the Foggy Foggy Forest - Nick Sharrett
(A great predictive story, the kids are suprisingly adept and recognising the silhouettes!)
Activity: Shark in the Park -
From the book by Nick Sharratt
(See the full version here)
(This was a fantastic fun element to include. We projected the story, and had the kids stand up and look through their hand 'telescopes' with us.)
Book: Little Quacks Hide and Seek - Lauren Thompson
(We added a duck puppet to play mother duck with this book, another hit!)
Activity: Tube Telescopes
(Then the kids got to decorate their Safari Telescopes with toilet paper tubes, markers, and foam stickers.)
