Wiggle Worms 3-19-12

I don't necessarily theme my toddler program, but today it kind of worked out that our theme was birds.

Animal song: "Old MacDonald"

Letter of the Day: Bb for bird

Mr. Bear surprised us with another fun, seasonal outfit. Go D-backs!


Book:  Tweedle Dee Dee by Charlotte Voake

Movement:  We did "The Beanie Bag Dance" which I usually do with the older kids, but I think it's always fun to mix it up a little. 

Flannel:  "So Many Birds"
This idea is from http://www.nancymusic.com/SOM/2009/lots-of-cars.htm, a song about cars

So many birds flying in the tree
What color bird do you see?  X5 (for five colors)

So many birds flying in the tree
What is the biggest bird you see?

So many birds flying in the tree
What is the smallest bird you see?


(This tree is the tree used for Tweedle Dee Dee above. I actually use it for most of my flannel tree needs.  The birds and the green flannel from Tweedle Dee Dee stick to small pieces of white velcro on the foam board.  This tree was originally made for Caps for Sale.) 

Finger Play:  "Two Little Black Birds"

Two little black birds
Sitting on a hill
One named Jack
And one named Jill

Fly away, Jack
Fly away, Jill

Come back, Jack
Come back, Jill

Two little black birds
Sitting on a cloud
One named Quiet
And one named Loud

Fly away, Quiet
Fly away, Loud

Come back, Quiet
Come back, Loud


Two little black birds
Sitting in some snow
One named Fast
And one named Slow

Fly away, Fast
Fly away, Slow

Come back, Fast
Come back, Loud

  1. Life is like a battle, if you don't know how to defend yourself then you'll end up being a loser. So, better take any challenges as your stepping stone to become a better person. Have fun, explore and make a lot of memories.
