• Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum

 

• Book #1 – The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (big book)

• 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

• Book #2 – Maisy Cleans Up by Lucy Cousins 

• Activity – Alligator Pie (fingerplay I found somewhere many years ago, 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 - Scarves to the song "Popcorn Calling Me" from Buzz Buzz by Laurie Berkner
