Flannel Rhyme:

Sweet Babies

One little baby, so sweet and new

Here’s another one and now there are two!

Two sweet babies, happy as can be

Here’s another one and now there are three!

three sweet babies wishing for some more,

Here’s another one and now there are four!

Four Sweet babies happy and alive,

Here’s one more and now there are five!

Five sweet babies have had a lot of fun,

Now they need a nape . . . 5,4,3,2,1 and none!

(Take off the babies one by one as you count down).

Flannel Game:

Can We Find? (Tune: The Muffin Man)

(Hide six different items under the houses. Look for each one after singing the refrain. Greet each item with a loud hello after finding.)
Can we find a red crab?
A red crab? A red crab?
Can we find a red crab?
We want to say hello!

I cut these animals to go with a sensory story time about movement. As I put each animal up I’ll encourage the kids to:

“Flap your wings like a bird”

“Slither like a snake”

“Stomp like an elephant”

“Jump like a frog”

“Gallop like a horse”

“Walk like a crab”

This flannel set goes with Denise Fleming’s picture book Lunch. Mouse eats a turnip, carrot, corn, peas, blueberries, grapes, apples, and watermelon and then has to take a long nap until dinner time. We’ll discuss colors and see if the kiddos can identify the food.

Flannel Game:

In this game I’ll pass out the bones and the kids will match them to the right puppy based on color. The day I’m doing this one we have a service dog visiting.

Flannel Game:

For this game I’ll hand out the mittens and let the kiddos match them.

Flannel Game:

In this game I’ll hide the snow ball behind one of the hats and let the kiddos guess which one.
