The Chocolate Chicken Clucks Again!

We had a wonderful story time today! A new family joined us and their daughter watched wide-eyed as all our zany routines unfolded. Mr. Pinkfish was a hit (as he usually is) and was held for most of the program.

After reading about a rabbit who could only whisper because he swallowed a bee (better cover your mouth when you yawn!), we learned a new song about a bunny. After singing it a few times, I decided we should stand and really get into the motions…and we did!

We also read a great story about a naughty little character named Max who was trying so hard to find hidden eggs so he could win a chocolate chicken. In his desperation, he snitches the chicken and hides away, nibbling it bit by bit while his sister searches for him in vain. The children really enjoyed Max’s silliness. We were able to practice numbers and colors and talk about the folly of eating an entire chocolate chicken!

I'm a Little Bunny "I'm a Little Teapot"
I'm a little bunny with a cotton tail;
See me hopping down the trail.
When I see a carrot ---
My ears - they shake!
And then, of course,
A Bite I take!!!
CRUNCH!!!!!
