toddler time: all aboard the storytime train!
it had been ages since we did trains so this theme really needed an update!
Mystery Box: We found our old friend Maisy the Mouse & she was holding a special train whistle!
kids love this whistle, they all wanted to do it but that would be gross so we couldn't. i used it for some of the books & songs tho.
Books We Read:
Maisy's Train- Cousins (perfect train intro after our mystery box!)
Thomas's Opposites (they loved this simple book; i skipped most of the text to focus on the opposites pictured)
Flannel Board: Hide & Seek with Thomas & Friends
i printed some Thomas clipart to hide under four colorful circles.
Thomas & his friends are playing hide & seek!
is someone under the RED circle? Let's take a peek!
they never get tired of this type of felt game, at least not yet!
Prop Song: Let's Make a Train!
i asked the kids to help me make a train. i pulled out the engine & cars one by one & set them on the window sill behind my table where they happened to fit perfectly!
we need some friends to ride our train, it's very empty right now!
(we sang this to the tune of Wheels on the Bus)
Who likes to ride on a train, on a train, on a train?
Who likes to ride on a train?
We love trains!
who is going to drive our train? how about a monkey named CURIOUS GEORGE?
Curious George says all aboard! all aboard, all aboard!
Curious George says all aboard!
Get on the train!
who will ride in car #1?
who rides in train car number 1? number 1? number 1?
who rides in train car number 1?
get on the train!
we continued for all the cars and our other riders included Lily (from Lily's Purple Plastic Purse), Pete the Cat, Babar and the Very Hungry Caterpillar!
we sang the very first verse one more time to end the song. so fun!! i was very happy with this prop!
Craft: Thomas popsicle stick puppets
i printed the puppet to color and a thomas face for the kids to glue on. worked pretty good but i'd love to find something a little bit better.
everyone loved this theme! so many parents told me this theme saved them today bc their kids are so into trains and that was nice to hear! i really loved my whistle & the prop i made. i luckily found 4 boxes the same size and used an old sandwich bag box for the engine. the train is a free printable that i found HERE.
