Happy Flannel Friday!
I have digging into our music collection lately for several reasons: 1) I manage the collection for our department (so I have to for purchasing and weeding purposes, 2) I’m developing a spin-off the Bibliobop Dance Parties (a popular program I developed the summer before last): Bibliobop Sing-Alongs, and 3) I’m in love with ECRR2.
I plan to start blogging regularly about storytime music. I’m thinking Music Mondays as a compliment to Flannel Fridays.
This storytime gem is a must-have for every storytime collection:
A Hop, Skip, and a Jump by Pam Donkin
this #FF is paired with an adorable counting song: 5 Fluffy Puppies by Pam Donkin (here’s a link to the mp3 download on amazon). It can be done in one of 2 ways: 1) a prop story using plush dogs like these:
pile of puppies
or 2) a reader/singer’s theater
Or make some cute felt dogs necklaces for kids to wear as costumes
I am hosting the #FFRU this week. And for more storytime ideas checkout the archive on pinterest
Sharon is hosting the 2012 Summer Reading “Dream Big, Read” Theme Extravaganza next week.
