Hay Is for Horses Storytime

Storytime for 1 to 3 year olds:
  • Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum




  • Bridge - Open, Shut Them (fingerplay)
Open, shut them
(open and close hands)
Open, shut them
Give a little clap (clap)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap
(put hands in lap)

Creep them, creep them
Under your chin
(creep fingers up chest)
Open your mouth, but don't put them in
(do as words say)

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them
Open shut them
Put them in your lap 


  • Flannelboard - She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain (traditional song, I got the idea for this from the Sunflower Storytime blog)

  • Letter of the Day - "H" is for horses



  • Activity – Ponies (action rhyme I adapted from a similar one I found)
Frisky little ponies in a meadow green
Silliest little ponies I've ever seen
They go for a walk
(walk in place)
They go for a trot
(trot in place)
They go for a gallop
(run in place)
They start to jump!
(jump in place)
They come to a halt in the big feed lot
(sign language for "stop")
Silly little ponies fat and well fed
Curl up to sleep in a soft straw bed.
(hands to the side of the face and pretend to sleep)

  • Closing - Rhythm sticks using "Goin' On a Bear Hunt" song from Kids In Action by Greg and Steve 
    
 

  • Art Experience – Stickers on a horseshoe drawing
