Toddler Storytime - Bugs

The Plan:

Books:

The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle
The Flea's Sneeze by Lynn Downey


Songs/Rhymes:

"Here is the Beehive"

Here is the beehive (hold up fist)
Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees (hold other hand over fist)
Watch and you'll see them come out of their hive (bend head close to fist)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5! (hold up fingers as you count)
Buzz! (wave fingers or tickle for babies)

"Itsy Bitsy Spider"

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout (do any variation of a spider with hands moving up)
Down came the rain and washed the spider out (wiggle fingers down for rain then move hand apart on "washed the spider out")
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain (make sun with hand above head)
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again! (do any variation of a spider with hands moving up)

For a fun variation, do the "great big hairy spider" and the "very quiet spider"!
