hello gator!

I'm really into puppets. Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up, I want to share my cute little alligator finger puppet used in my five little monkeys. This little hot glue gun project inspired me to do my shark puppet which was a massive hit. The children at my center really enjoys the anticipation of the sharped teeth creatures. Feel free to steal!

One of the first few songs I learned when I first enrolled in the ECE field.
Simple cut out and a finger puppet with a little bit of glitter to make this song a magical ride.

Elephants

Song:

One Elephant went out to play

upon a spider's web one day.

He had such enormous fun 

that he called for another elephant to come.

HEY ELEPHANT!

Two elephants... Three elephants... Four elephants... 

Then there's five elephants and that's the end

A story I would highly recommend is "Elmer" By David McKee. It's about a colorful elephant who disguises himself to look like the other elephants. What happens when this adorable elephant look like the other elephants? I guess you'll have to read it to find out! 

Guess what song this is?

I have been meaning to finish this song for a very long time. It was originally dedicated to my friend ED. I finally completed it last night and delivered it to her today. I procrastinated quite a bit. I wanted the animals to be cut out individually instead of drawn out because I am "specific" that way. Hahaha.

Anyways, the song is "Over in the Meadow". Enjoy! 

Donuts Donuts Donuts!

Down around the corner at the bakery shop

There were lots of doughnuts with frosting on top

Along came (Child's Name) with a dollar to spare, 

She/He chose the (Color of Frosting) one and ate it with care.

Apples

There are many different apple songs, but when I entered the field of ECE, this song stuck in my head like crazy. If you have any apple songs to share, please leave a comment=)

Farmer Brown has five red apples hanging on his tree,

Ladybugs

Five Little Ladybugs

Five little ladybugs climbing up a door

One flew away and then there were four

Four little ladybugs sitting on a tree

One flew away and then there were three

Three little ladybugs landed on a shoe

One flew away and then there were two

Two little ladybugs looking for some fun

One flew away and then there was one

One little ladybug sitting in the sun

She flew away and then there were none!
