Book: Old Bear by Kevin Henkes
Rhyme: My Bear (using a bear puppet)
My bear is looking all around.
My bear is sniffing at the ground.
My bear is looking at my toes.
My bear can kiss me on the nose.
My bear can whisper in my ear.
What’s he saying? Can you hear?
My bear can hide behind me,
But wherever I go, my bear can surely find me.

Flannel:
Polar bear’s not tired,
He wants to play!
He wants to catch the RED ball today.
Is this the red ball?

Book: Egg by Kevin Henkes
Flannel: Ten fluffy chickens
Five eggs and five eggs (Add a clutch of eggs each time you say “five eggs”)
And that makes ten
Sitting on top
Is Mother Hen (Add the hen)
Cackle cackle cackle (Clap hands as you say Cackle!)
What do I see?
Ten fluffy chickens (Flip over each clutch of eggs)
Yellow as can be.
