Sweet Food Storytime

Storytime for 1 to 3 year olds:

• Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum

• Book #1 – Maisy Bakes a Cake by Lucy Cousins (pop-up)

• Stand-up Activity – "I'm a Little Teapot" from This Little Piggy by Adam Stemple, et al

• 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 - Five Little Cookies (a counting rhyme I found at Sunflower Storytime)

• Letter of the Day - "i" is for ice-cream

• Book #2 – Wemberly's Ice-Cream Star by Kevin Henkes (this book was so small I enlarged it onto storyboards)

• Activity – Alligator Pie (fingerplay I found somewhere, I have seen it on numerous websites)

Alligator, alligator, alligator pie
If I don't get some
I think I'm gonna cry
You can take away the grass
Take away the sky
But don't take away
My alligator pie!

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

• Art Experience – Glitter glue on a foam star with a craft stick taped to it to create pretend ice-cream stars.
