Mystery Box: we found 2 APPLES in our polka dot box today: one red & one green!
Prop Song: Two Little Apples
(tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
Two little apples small & round
make a munching crunching sound!
if you bite into them, you will see,
just as delicious as can be!
Hey wait a minute, there's another apple in our box!
Puppet Rhyme: I Found This Apple On the Ground
I found this apple on the ground.
it looked delicious red & round.
i picked it up & took a nibble.
oh my goodness there's a worm in the middle!
i've used this rhyme for years with my own homemade apple/worm prop but i am loving this new puppet by folkmanis!!
Books We Read:
What's an Apple?- great for toddlers
5 Red Apples- Yonezu
Flannel Board: 3 Little Apples
3 little apples hanging in a tree
teasing mr slinky worm you can't catch me
along come mr slinky worm as quiet as can be and....
CRUNCHES that apple right out of the tree!!
count down till all the apples are gone
3 apples was enough for my groups but you could do five also!
Craft: Apple Person
see my previous APPLE posts.
so today was kind of crazy! first session was HUGE!!! more & more people kept coming down the stairs until it was maybe my biggest group ever! i was shocked & a little intimidated to be honest and i let the audience know it. i think it helped to admit how it felt to stand up there, in front of a group that size because everyone was super nice & quiet for the entire program, it was amazing!
i was worried about craft time tho: did i have enough apples? would we have enough seats? so i came up with an idea: put out the toys first, then pass out crafts to the two tables in back. let some kids play THEN CRAFT, while others crafted first, then played.
honestly, some families left to hang out upstairs at this point which made things a little easier but everyone else spread out & took turns. it was actually better & more relaxed this way because no child was being forced to craft when they preferred to play and vice versa. it also gave us more room at the craft tables AND it was less of a mad rush for me to hand out craft stuff & give instructions.
this new idea worked out so well, i tried it in the second (big but still manageable) second session and it worked great also! so... crisis averted! it could have been a big mess but thanks to some flexibility & consideration by my families, we made it work! one of my caregivers did admit that i am really good at handling big groups which was super nice to hear!
i even received a lovely present from one of my families!! i was going to put it on my desk in my office but i love it so much that i decided to bring it home to place in my kitchen window. GREAT day!
