Guess Whose Beard is Long and White?

Today was another wintery day in western Pennsylvania, so imagine my surprise when eleven children arrived, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready for story time!

We read a couple of Christmas stories, complete with outrageous character voices, sang a few songs, and did some fingerplays. The children had big belly “ho ho ho’s”, helped me pull and push to get Santa out of the chimney, and giggled as wombat tried to get a part in the Nativity. I really enjoyed watching the children participate today---right down to the youngest children, one who smiled the entire time and one who contently chewed on Mr. Pinkfish.

I can hardly wait until next week…

Stories, Songs and Fingerplays

Chubby Little Snowman

Chubby little bunny had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny and what do you suppose?

That hungry little bunny who was looking for some lunch,

ate that chubby snowman’s nose.

Nibble, nibble CRUNCH!

We Can Build a Snowman

We can build a snowman

Make him big and tall.

See if you can hit him

With a big snowball!

Dear Old Santa

Guess whose beard is long and white,

long and white, long and white.

Guess whose beard is long and white?

Dear old Santa!

Guess whose coat is red and white,

red and white, red and white?

Guess whose coat is red and white?

Dear old Santa?

Guess who comes on Christmas Eve,

Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve?

Guess who comes on Christmas Eve?

Dear old Santa!
