Beach Day

Mulvane Public Library Posted on by

Happy Thursday! Yesterday was a very wet and dreary morning. Not the best weather to talk about the beach, but we talking about how we could make believe that we were sitting on the beach, enjoying the warm sunshine and cool water.

We read the books: When a Dragon Moves In by Jodi Moore and Sandy Feet! Whose Feet? by Susan Wood.

swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish

All day long.

Verses:

Dolphins in the sea swim round and round (paint circle in front of you with scarf)

The sand in the sea drifts down, down, down (slowly lower scarf or throw scarf and watch it drift to the floor)

The waves on the sea go up and down (wave scarf up and down)

Craft

The craft for this week was a cute little beach scene with a handprint crab.

 

 

 

 

Bubbles!

Mulvane Public Library Posted on by

Happy Wednesday! It was a beautiful but chilly morning today! I am absolutely loving doing outdoor storytime and I think we will have to continue it in the fall and spring in the future when the weather cooperates.

Today we did a super fun Bubble-themed storytime! We read the books: Pop!: A Book about Bubbles by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley and How to Put an Octopus to Bed by Sherri Duskey. It was cool talking with the children about how bubbles are made, how big or small you can make them, where you play with bubbles, and much more!

We sang some fun bubble songs:

Tiny Tim

I have a little turtle.
His name is Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap.
And now he’s home,
Sick in bed, with a bubble in his throat.
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Bubble, bubble, Pop!
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Bubble, bubble, Pop!

One Little Red Fish

One little red fish, swimming in the water,
swimming in the water, swimming in the water.
One little red fish, swimming in the water.
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, POP!

Two little purple fish…
Three little green fish…
Four little yellow fish…
Five little blue fish…

Craft:

The craft for this week was making a bubble wand out of pipe cleaners. You can find instructions for how to do this at home here: https://www.redtedart.com/bubble-wand-making-station/

I hope you all have a wonderful week and have a chance to play with bubbles in some way! See you next week!
